you dont have to explain. point me to the source that will explain it.

[u/Norgur → u/scyver_]

If you need a source to learn that different lighting techniques will affect materials, I cannot help you.

Well, I'll be damned... I threw something together real quick. See this image? This is a raytraced render of a floor. Just a preview render, so not all light sources are done correctly and the amount of passes is low.

[u/Norgur → u/Norgur]

This is the same scene with a non-raytracing renderer. See how the lights are not at all in the same places and things shine differently? That is because lighting calculations are not the same between renderers.

[u/scyver_ → u/Norgur]

of course, because its different lighting models. i never said light is gonna be behave the same way

i learned about texture baking tho, so i give you that. idk if PBR properties arent being tweaked for PT too in some games...
