Ah. of course. The system tracked camera and rendered what the camera saw and little around it accurately. Rest was rendered just for lightning.

The guy who developed the tracked camera invented the Roomba (maybe with others? not sure). Pretty cool dude.

This goes into way more technical details: https://ascmag.com/articles/the-Mandalorian Particularly interesting is how the system had ~10 frames of latency, so excessively fast camera turns would show lower quality renders.
