As always great tutorial Gleb! One question though, what are the limitations you talked in the end of the video?

Baked lighting is awesome for walkthrough animations (where everything is static), but it kind of fails when changing light conditions becomes necessary. Is there a good way to use this with dynamic lighting (for example, using light baking to avoid unnecessarily re-calculating lighting between frames)?
Raphael Barros
I think you could bake everything that won’t change much and let your renderer handle all the other variable stuff.

I’m so excited to get started here Gleb. Thank Jonathan Williamson for directing me here. I’m just now a Level 3 at CGCookie, having finished JW’s retopology workflow (retopo is indeed hell, but he made it less hot! XD). Anyway, thank you for making this site and for all you do.
