Yeah, I hope you are sarcastic here
That would be pre-rendered and wouldn't require a lot of performance. But right now I would like to finish current features. Optimize them, release - and except everything works out. Since this lighting engine is forced to the users.

except you would use 1D Fourier series stored on a 2D array instead of spherical harmonics in a volume. The propagation step in 2D is also really nice on the prefetcher, so you could potentially do multiple bounces in a few ms even on the CPU.
And people say i'm a nerd.
I kind of like the idea of semi-reflective blocks, but if it's done somewhat realistic it will be nearly unnoticeable and you'd need to define the actual block transparency in the editor somehow.

The lights don't eliminate the shadows here but make the darkened floor brighter (dark shadow overlayed by the colored source of light). A bug?
