@djdesmangles:


May I ask what is your application? perhaps, the level of realism can be altered/improved by using diffuse texture and multiply it's color value with the lightmap texture. In my experience, Baking Light information would suit in certain VR scenarios.

I would love to have it (dynamic stencil shadows), but Blender and Yafray pretty much do the tricks for me.

It's good to find out, what type of scenario you have, type of lights required, and length of the scenario. Then you might be able to justify if 'baking' is an option to improve realism level in your scene.


Kind Regards,
