    My goal was outdoor
    I will test it for interior. But maybe its needs few customizations for interior
    I will make another one for my Interior Lighting Kit that's focused on interior settings
    Initial test with realtime GI

    Use new settings file (LightingBox_Blue_Halo) and drag BlueDirt texture into Dirt slot of the Bloom effect

    Don't forget:

    1. Your rendering path must be Deferred (edit->project->graphics)

    2. Color space should be Linear (player settings)

    3. Graphic API should be DX11 for HDR and DX9 for non HDR (Player Settings)

    4. DX11 only for volumetric Lighting (Player Settings )

    5.Allow HDR should be on in camera component (Inspector)

    6. Allow MSAA should be disabled in the Camera component (Inspector)

    7. Shadows should be activated in quality settings (edit->project-> quality)

    Specially when you have imported a new complete project(for example UFPS) you must re setup this 7 steps again for your project

    Patch is just 3 settings file. You need to override those into original files.

    I'm working on WebGL Lighting Box to get nextgen lighting on webgl (paid 10$)

    WebGL Limitation:
    1. OpenGL ES3.0
    2. No Eye adaption
    3. No liner color space
    4. No precomputed realtme gi


    my solutions:
    1. Mobile specific image effect setup
    2. Fake trigger based HDR
    3. Best settings for Gamma
    4. Baked ambient light + realtime lights (stingray and GTA V solution )

    Free version has a bit limitation

    1. No debug mod to automatically detect wrong settings and fix its problem
    2. No free models
    3. webgl and mobile has only paid version
