A single-file C/C++ library for baking lightmaps using an existing OpenGL renderer. It supports ambient occlusion and multi-bounce global illumination precomputation for static scene geometry.

Use cases

  • bake lightmaps for static 3D scene geometry
  • precompute global illumination with multiple light bounces
  • compute ambient occlusion maps for meshes
  • integrate lightmap baking into an existing OpenGL renderer
  • bake emissive surfaces and arbitrary light shapes into lightmaps

When to choose

  • you already have an OpenGL renderer and want drop-in lightmap baking
  • you need a small dependency-free single-file solution
  • you want offline GI/AO precomputation for static scenes

When to avoid

  • your engine does not use OpenGL
  • you need real-time dynamic global illumination
  • you need automatic UV unwrapping (pair it with xatlas or similar)
