Local Lights
Perf: Limit shadow-casting lights to 4-6 visible. Use Shadows=false on most. Neon material = cheap glow.
MCP: Inspect, change minimally, capture, check performance.
Common Pitfalls
- Brightness >3 washes out. Density >0.5 = soup. Max 2-3 post effects.
- Avoid black Ambient. Technology is deprecated; it and its replacements are Studio-only.
