Maybe since this can be added to UE5 maybe iC8 should have it as well. It should also enable users to use VR with iC8 for walkthroughs etc.

I've suggested to other artists that they could potentially scan an entire scene in UE via rendered still mages without shadows, that they might be able to introduce real-time shadows and GI later.
