The kitchen for cooking and baking textures
The beauty of the texture-baking technique is that an artist can bake and preserve the exact look of his rendered 3D design into a bitmap texture. It is an uncompromising workflow and performance, where the light, shades and shadows look the same no matter if they are displayed in an Unreal level or on as a turntable on a smart phone.

The internal calculations part the UVs in the best possible way, sort them over one or multiple UV sheets and pack them optimally to avoid texture space waste.
