Coppercube light bakes seem to only utilize one core, this is great until light bakes take 5+ hours on my AMD Ryzen 9, Is there a way to enable multicore support for Coppercubes light baking model.

CPU usage maxes out at around 7% and it would be great to get a lot more out of it.

Seems to be not so easy, if not impossible.
See this discussion:
https://superuser.com/questions/293809/can-a-single-threaded-program-be-made-to-use-multiple-cores

It boils down to the parallelizability of the program. If the nature of the app allows it, you could try to modify the source, pretty much rewrite it. Too much trouble I think.

What I never really tested, but should, is, if I hide some parts that are already lightmapped, will it be faster when I lightmap the rest again, and will the lightmaps of the hidden parts be preserved, so I could then always lightmap only those parts that I have changed.
