This means you no longer have to author lightmap UVs, wait for lightmaps to bake, or place reflection captures - you can simply create and edit lights inside the Unreal Editor and see the same final lighting as when the game is run on console.
With Lumen, indirect lighting adapts on the fly to changes to direct lighting or geometry, such as changing the sun's angle with the time of day, turning on a flashlight, or opening an exterior door. Lumen is a fully dynamic global illumination solution that lets users create dynamic, believable scenes. Nanite intelligently streams and processes only the detail you can perceive, largely removing poly count and draw call constraints, and eliminating time-consuming tasks such as baking details to normal maps and manually authoring LODs - freeing you up to concentrate on creativity.
Directly import film-quality source assets comprised of millions of polygons and place them millions of times, all while maintaining a real-time frame rate, and without any noticeable loss of fidelity. Our new Nanite virtualised micropolygon system lets users create games with massive, unprecedented amounts of geometric detail.
