RED_SIM @sim.red · May 25 Point Light Volumes? Not sure if I will integrate it, but I just don't like people using baked volumes as fake point lights and spot lights. Integration for shader makers would just require to update my .cginc file I provide. For people - to update the shader and reupload their avatars again.

Well, I could see Light Volumes being used by a larger amount of creators later on, so if enough people would benefit from this feature I think it would be good to add it now, we're still early in the adoption process after all.
Awesome to see! Completely understandable that you'd have reservations. You made a very broad, generalizable system and this use case is by comparison, much simpler. It's overkill for the task.
If it's significantly more performant, I absolutely would love to see this shipped!
Damn, thats cool, what kinda performance benefit is this going to be. Does it still contribute to the max additive overdraw?
Are they faster than normal point lights?
This would be nice, although it might take a bit longer to propagate onto people’s avatars since people will think “I already updated my avatar for Light Volumes, why would I need to again?”
How many of these point lights could you do befor it lags?
