	~~Light probes make a scene's lighting feel more natural.<br />~~
	~~To optimally make use of light probes, try to follow these guidelines:~~

	* Always '''1 distant probe''' per atmosphere. Always place one distant probe to capture far off lighting and apply it to everything in that atmosphere. This is your base layer of natural lighting.
	* '''Folow geometry''' when placing local probes. Try to align the probe's influence area as closely as possible to its surrounding. F.e. shape a probe like the room the probe is in.
	* '''Start big'''. Too many probes can be bad for performance. Start with the distant probe and large/rough local probes. Only place a smaller probe where necessary.
