Enlighten Nightmare

Unity5

After so many days wrecking my brain in understanding the Enlighten engine in Unity I am near wit's end on this thing. I had to turn off the terrain I made, set all lighting parameters as low as it could go, even making each section of the environment into system chunks, breaking up large meshes, and other things to see if the baking would speed up.

Alas, it did in a sense: what took five hours went down to two.

Again, this was just a test bake on seeing what things look like but at this point I may take a breather and reconsider just porting this shiz into UE4. I will have to redo the textures as they will not be a clean port but in the grand scheme of this I can say that I wish the Beast engine was still a part of Unity.

The common thread I found online is that the bake times are too time consuming for quite a few users and that does not instill confidence in me on how to get decent lighting in the environment.
