    What are the best practices to follow for deciding when and where to place a light probe? I usually just make a huge grid 2 probes high spaced out in all directions about 3 meters apart but of course it gets unwieldy and probably isn't very performant. So how does one choose exactly when and where to place a probe? Thanks in advance for any help!
