The light probe proxy volume component offers the possibility to use higher resolution lighting for large non-static objects.
By default, a probe-lit Renderer receives lighting from a single light probe that is interpolated from the surrounding light probes in the scene. Because of this, objects have constant ambient lighting regardless of position on the surface. It will have a rotational gradient because it's using spherical harmonics, but it will lack a spatial gradient. This will be more noticeable on larger objects or particle systems. The lighting across the object will match the lighting at the anchor point, and if the object straddles a lighting gradient parts of the object will look incorrect.
This component will generate a 3D grid of interpolated light probes inside a bounding volume. The resolution of the grid can be user-specified. The spherical harmonics coefficients of the interpolated light probes are updated into 3D textures which are sampled at render time to compute the contribution to the diffuse ambient lighting. This will add a spatial gradient to probe lit objects.
