r.shadow.virtual.onepassprojection.maxlightsperpixel The top console variable if you get shadow flickering in Unreal Engine when many overlapping movable lights are casting shadows on the same pixel. 32-64 values allow you to fix blocky shadow artifacts.

Unreal Engine + 3dsmax has the best pipeline due to the free Datasmith plugin. But different renders have different percentages of compatibility with materials. Here are my observations - 1. Default Physical Materials - 100% 2. Corona Render - 99% 3. V-ray - 75% 4. Redshift - 50% The main problems are the loss of material properties, unlinked textures in self-illuminating materials, etc. Based on the photorealism of the Corona, this pipeline can be called the best at the moment.
