The talk presents a real-time GPU light baking solution created by Saber Interactive for the upcoming title "World War Z". The solution is built on top of AMD® RadeonRays – a fully open source high performance GPU-accelerated ray tracing engine, supporting OpenCL, Vulkan and C++ backends. The GPU light baker developed by Saber brings lighting artists' experience to a whole new level by enabling convenient and highly-interactive "place and edit" workflows. Production light baking jobs, previously taking hours of CPU cluster time, are now reduced to mere minutes on a high-end multi-GPU machine or even seconds if sent to a GPU render farm.
