Enlighten deprecation and replacement solution

[sqallpl]

There are some answers related to GI for URP and HDRP in the “Road to 2021 Q&A” thread.

Hey there, I see you noticed my other response in regards to URP plan. To address your specific question in regards to Realtime GI in 2021: at the moment, the short answer is no. Having said we are actively working on a plan for Realtime GI for URP and we have not forgotten about it :). We will have a more concrete answer towards the end of this year and when we do we will make sure we update everyone about our plans and the roadmap for it. Like you noticed in my other response, our current focus in URP is to improve baked Global Illumination and mixed lighting mode support, as well as their quality and workflows.

If you haven’t already, please vote for Realtime GI on the public board and I will make sure you are updated about our progress: https://portal.productboard.com/unity/1-unity-graphics/tabs/3-universal-render-pipeline

The road to 2021 - Q&A

Hey there! We’re actively working on defining the solution for our customers for real-time GI, fully understanding how impactful dynamic global illumination is to modern games and many of our customers’ use cases. While we are not on track to provide a replacement in time for 21.1, we are still aiming to share the plans by the end of 2020.
