There is a short and straight forward demonstration on how to do this in Blender using the cycles renderer would you believe using it in the 3d viewer or the blender game engine. here is a link:
Introduction to Blender Cycles Baking Introduction to Blender Cycles Baking When creating environments for animation, it’s important to make the lighting visible in real time. Find out how Blender cycles baking helps achieve this.

In my understanding and the little bit of research I did nearly a decade years ago – which was unrelated to Unreal – that was one of the paths being actively explored: baking a scene, and spherical harmonics in particular – which would allow to then have dynamic lights with radiosity in realtime. And the logistics at the time were a render/bake of a few hours and files running in the gigabytes...
