See in Glossary shows statistics and how much CPU time is consumed by the real-time Global Illumination (GI) subsystem across all worker threads. GI is managed in Unity by a piece of middleware called EnlightenThe lighting system by Geomerics used in Unity for computing global illumination (GI). More info
See in Glossary. See documentation on Global Illumination for more information.
