In fact it was a nice surprise to me too ! I didn't expect the light maps to
project light the way they do. It looks like the "hot spots" in the map act
like real lights after all (without creating specular highlights). There are
lots of artefacts here, but more testing (or a different implementation of
HDRI support) could perhaps solve them.
