orchid fjord
i think you should check installation of hdrp once more as you might get what the problem is
jolly glen
Yea I’m just going to start over. Make a new HDRP project and import over the assets
And hope to god that I can fix all the problems
orchid fjord
anyone knows what this white spot doing on my mesh ,it is not a part of the texture I am applying to the mesh and the problem is occuring after i baked lights.It glows to much after I apply glow in post processing 😦
@orchid fjord help?
little mason
Hey could I get some help with lighting I am super new
I'm trying to make a super basic city with unity and there is this ugly black shadown on the building
how do I fix this
I tried moving the directional light around but nothing happened
balmy vine
jolly glen
why isnt the reflections working
teal stratus
why isnt the reflections working
@jolly glen Try box projection
Any idea what's causing this?
@balmy vine low shadow resolution or low shadow bias
jolly glen
What’s box projection?
teal stratus
its an option in the reflection probe
the probe instead of being projected at an infinite space
gets projected only in the specific box
try it
covert stirrup
Are you building for android?
twilit oasis
yes

Then you should go to build settings and change texture compression to ASTC. And go and do something else because it's gonna take a while
covert stirrup
ASTC is a texture compression format. It takes longer to compress but will create way less artefacts on your lightmaps
The issues you're seeing is due to the compression
twilit oasis
so how can i do that !
covert stirrup
Already told you
twilit oasis
i am using standard pipline
covert stirrup
Then you should go to build settings and change texture compression to ASTC. And go and do something else because it's gonna take a while
twilit oasis
i fixed i just uncheck the compressed lightmap in lighting setting and now its fixed !💯

I had this question a few days ago and no answer.
[SOLUTION] If you experience the same issue. My terrain meshes were dynamic batching - which caused the reflection calculation to go haywire. Setting the material to GPU instancing has solved the issue.
[SOLVED]How do I stop this from happening?

I recently upgraded to HDRP and when I re-baked the lighting for the scene, I left the characters in the scene. Now the scene looks great but the characters are all very dark, even black. How do I fix this? I thought I set them to be lit dynamically...
hollow forum
This is my issue
It dosent render the shadow correctly
Bias seems to be the issue

I am having a issue where when I bake my lighting, all the lights are barely visible

that golf thing! I just learned about this the other day, they don't have any of these near me at all. Seemed interesting!
timber lichen
this has only been happening today, it was originally using realtime GI but i turned it off and now it just always does this
just this giant square where the lighting is different
neat yacht
bit of an odd question, but is there any way to create a 'mask' for a lighting render pass?
I'm using some stuff to write to the stencil buffer and want to use that to determine whether or not a pixel should be lit by a given light.
this isn't the immediate thing I'm working on, but it's the next step after this one, so I figured I'd ask early.
of note, this is on the legacy renderer.
stark temple
@timber lichen generally when there's a square it's something like reflection probes only being in one location, or not having enough blending
hoary copper
@keen pagoda did you have multiple reflections there?
versed olive
I changed my default lightmap settings for the hi-res option, how do I reset them?
keen pagoda
@hoary copper Thanks. My terrain meshes were dynamic batching - which caused the reflection calculation to go haywire. Setting the material to GPU instancing has solved the issue.

I see. I had same problem actually. I can fixed it by making my probes not collide wach other

Hey guy I am wondering about lighting, can I blend a spotlight point light and area light together?

just a simple question: how do I add skyboxes in HDRP?
primal garnet
Hello everyone! I've got a problem with my point lights. As seen in the screenshots, they work just fine in unity, meaning the traffic light is also lighted, while in the built app this doesn't happen. The light is a child of the pole, if that helps. The lightmaps aren't built yet either. What could be the problem and how do I solve it?
covert stirrup
Make sure your Quality settings in editor are the same as in your build @primal garnet. The amount of realtime lights depends on this
primal garnet
Alright! I will look at the values later today. Thanks for the help!
sick plinth
I am still having the issue where when I bake my lighting, then all the lights basicly turn off
haughty plume
Hi i don't suppose anyone here could anyone here explain to me what Screen Space Shadows do, and what pros and cons there are? or point me to some documentation that isn't 'screen space shadows are shadows that appear in the screen space, you can turn this on or off'? would really appreciate it 🙂
shell whale
@primal garnet I wouldn't do that with lights. I would just update the material's emissive value and have a texture for it. Also, because having that signal cast lights into the scene is likely unnecessary
primal garnet
Alright, I'll look into that aswell
teal stratus
Alright, I'll look into that aswell
@primal garnet or at least if you want to use a lot of lights with the poles use Deferred rendering path. Allows for infinite pixel lights + better post processing effects in some cases
primal garnet
I've went for emissive materials...although I did bump into a problem I'm still trying to fix
because the lights really took a toll on the framerate, especially since it's a mobile game
primal garnet
So, i set the green light to an emissive material, but it doesn't generate any lights. All the objects nearby are static, and baking doesn't fix it.
graceful swan
@primal garnet you might want use post processing to generate bloom on the greenlight. emissive materials also need intensity of your emissive color in the material.
primal garnet
The intensity was 4.46, last time I checked
violet night
try add point light or area light
primal garnet
I removed them because they caused performance issues
violet night
ya, realtime light definitely use up some performance depend on how many you have, Emissive light only work in baked lightmap not in realtime
the only way for you to have realtime light is use point light. To optimize it, you can disable shadow to improve performance. If you want to keep the shadow, use baked + lightmap for your dynamic object can catch the light
paper gorge
why does it look like there is emission/light inside of this thing. the texture has no emission, neither is there a light inside the thing
timber lichen
Hi, I am having a problem with trees I create in SpeedTree. I'm not sure if this is the right channel to put it but every time I get near any tree its as if the lighting changes and updates very obviously. Has anyone encountered this before? There is barely a difference between the lighting on the tree before and after the shift.

Hi everyone, I have a black flickering issue when I move my camera in front of a specific object in my scene.
This screenshot show the problem. (when we move the camera a little we manage to get this black screen (on the right)).
I disabled all items on my scene and there is one one them that cause this issue. I don't know why ...
Our scene is baked (and if we remove the bake the problem disappear :/), we are on HDRP and unity 2019
kindred plank
Hi, we are working on a scene that has a door hidden in the walls. So, everything is static, except for the door which looks like a section of the wall. Any tips on how to make a dynamic object light look the same as the static objects?
It is using light probes around the door
violet night
@kindred plank can have a look on your light probe setup?
hoary pendant
hey guys! i need help
i'm using HDRP at 2019.4
i have this beautiful light shine into the scene
however, i lose it once i tick the wall's material to be "double-sided"
i understand that i lose some of it because of the walls, however i expected to have some of it through the windows, but that's not the case
i dont understand what to do to keep the lights shine only through the windows
mystic dew
@hoary pendant select wall mesh and disable cast shadows...
wet locust
why is my baked light being so weird? See this checker board next to the road, it's all the same material:
this is what it's like with realtime global:
unborn torrent
Probably ur mesh doesn't have UVs for Ligthmaps
wet locust
Synty stuff from the asset store 😒
I click the Generate Lightmap UV's button on the mesh?
violet night
yap
unborn torrent
You can also make them manualy in 3d software if you want have better control over them
wet locust
so I generated, but still have a random problem
the same squares are always dark like that every bake
and are the same object/material as what is to their left
unborn torrent
So now only those two have problem yes?
unborn torrent
Hmm if its not UVs problem maybe try increasing baking settings? Also baking on CPU can be more accurate and causing less artifacts than baking in GPU.
unborn torrent
unfortunetly baking on CPU is more time consuming 😛
wet locust
i7700k
unborn torrent
but you can still try baking in high settings on GPU and setting big resolution for ligthmaps and texels. I think it will be enough to check if it is problem with baking settings or meshes
wet locust
I changed the lightmap size and it moved which ones have the errors
also set the lightmap parameters to highresolution
with gpu again, because I'm about to go to bed, not wait 20 mins for cpu..
also because if that's how long it takes on a tiny scene, hate to think how long it takes in a big one
doubled the lightmap resolution and, once again, it didn't fix the problem, just reshuffled the locations
unborn torrent
wierd, it can be caused by mesh 3d, but i totaly dont know what could be wrong in such simple 3d model
wet locust
oh oops found the problem
two mesh with nearly the same name
set the UV generate on the wrong one
unborn torrent
heh xD
so good luck now with ligthmaps 😄 Personaly i would't generate UVs in unity. Creating them in 3d soft like blender is safer
wet locust
thanks for the help and tips
primal garnet
@violet night I'm sorry for tagging you. You previously said that emissive light won't work in realtime, and just on baked lightmaps. Does that mean that a change in the traffic lights won't light any area nearby it when, for example, red's turned on instead of green? Or would it work just fine, with light generated when the emissive value would be raised?

@sick plinth increase your camera near plane or if you are using close fit switch to stable
sick plinth
Where is the close fit option located?
violet night
@sick plinth in the quality setting
near bison
Can anyone show me what settings I need to use to bake shadows from trees onto my terrain? Nothing I do is working. I need to know what settings should be applied to the meshes in the prefab, what settings need to be set on the directional light, and what settings need to be set in the lightmapper. For now I only want baked lighting, no realtime lights. I would like to use shadowmasks eventually, but first I'm just trying to bake shadows because nothing I do aside from using a single directional real time light seems to work with my terrain.
violet night
dont remember bake shadows work for Unity terrains with tree, only way for it to work is you place the tree like prefab
royal briar
near bison
So it turns out the reason I wasn't getting any lightmapping on my terrain was because I'd failed to do the most obvious thing, which is check "Lightmap Static" within the terrain settings. In my defense, this is only the second environment I've lightmapped, and the last was a year ago, and it didn't have terrains, so I didn't even realize that option even existed for terrains.
timber lichen
anyone know how to fix this? using blue as a light color makes it's core magenta....i know increasing the radius helps but I would like to make sure the core matches the outer color if possible..
near bison
@timber lichen Are you using post processing? HDR stuff can affect the color. Your light could also have a very slight amount of red in it which might then become more apparent when the blue is clamped to the max but you're still trying to make the light go brighter. Just a theory.
Can anyone tell me how Unity handles cases where an object is outside your light probes? I have an issue where objects sitting on the ground on my terrain are brighter than expected and the probes are not underground nearby, so I'm thinking maybe it's blending in ambient light somewhere, but changing that in the lighting panel has no effect. Not sure if that gets baked in.
timber lichen
@near bison i am, fog and a touch of bloom, so perhaps thats whats interfering with it...
hmm, apparently not...disabling the bloom doesnt help..
violet night
ah... terrain been in unity long long ago
near bison
@timber lichen Its the Tonemapping mode which is what would cause this. Try setting it to linear or custom. I had some red lights turn orange when they were bright with the ACES mode that is the default.
timber lichen
@near bison do you happen to know which section of preferences I can find tonemapping mode?
near bison
Select the post processing volume in your scene. It's in the inspector for that.
pulsar aspen
I don't get it guys, I've not touched anything since creating a fresh project
I've messed with the lights themselves, nothing
quality settings, nothing changes unless I remove the shadow completely
though I did notice it gets drastically worse when changing quality tier, but changing anything in the individual quality settings does nothing
alright so apparently it's filtering though a transparent object, how can I make this work?
removing it, whatever lol that's bad.
tender prawn
We have updated our project from Unity 2019.4 to 2020.1 and SOME of our models have somehow broken lightmaps. Other models are just fine. I have compared the project files in WinMerge and:
- The .FBX files (and thus the UV maps) and meta files are identical.
- The .scene files and meta files are identical.
- The lightmap images and meta files are identical.
As a 3D modeler this looks like the UV maps have changed so they do not match the underlying lightmap anymore. But they haven't, both are identical. Does anyone have any idea what could cause the lightmaps on some objects to break but not all? Here are two images of the situation. 1st one has broken lightmaps. 2nd one has broken lightmaps on one object, but correct lightmaps on all the rest.
covert stirrup
Are the lighmaps auto generated? Have you tried reimporting those assets to refresh the UVs?
tender prawn
Yes the objects' UV's are autogenerated by Unity. But like I mentioned earlier, in both Unity versions the models, scenes, and their meta files are identical down to the bits. However, I have now discovered a discrepancy that causes this lighting error and it is exactly what I thought it was: the UV's in the baked lightmaps are not identical. (Image attached of with a different object selected that has this issue.) I have no idea why they have changed though. Anybody have any thoughs? Where are these scene-level baked lightmap UVs stored? Could I somehow copy them over from version 2019?
violet night
sometimes is because of the GI Cache, try clear it and bake again
tender prawn
Reimporting the models does not change anything in either 2020 or 2019 because the settings are identical. We are aware that rebaking would solve the issue but with 20+ scenes and 8+ hours per scene to bake, that is our last option.
tender prawn
I would still like to try overriding the 2020 scene UV data with the data from 2019 but I haven't found it. The GI cache seems to contain some mystery binary data.
violet night
what I guess is they changed the algorithm to remap the UV, so that's why it run
tender prawn
The curious thing is that I currently have both editors open and in the preferences both editors point to the same directory for GI cache so that cannot be where the UV data is stored.
violet night
GI cache is to make the bake process faster next time
UV data should be still inside your project folder
but old GI cache data can cause wrong result for your lightmap, so I always clear it when I make significant version upgrade
calm shore
Why is there baked lighting?
tender prawn
Why not? We get higher quality lighting + ambient occlusion with fraction of the cost of the realtime lighting and all of our scenes are 99% static meshes.
teal stratus
So it turns out the reason I wasn't getting any lightmapping on my terrain was because I'd failed to do the most obvious thing, which is check "Lightmap Static" within the terrain settings.

@near bison that option exists for any object and you can check just static and all static flags will be on,including Lightmap Static
woeful prism
hey gang, lighting question
how can i create lights that Bake into my light probes....but do NOT bake when i generate lightmaps?
i setup a separate new Layer (ex Characterlights) and threw the light in there, but its' still baking into the world geo around it
suggestions?
@calm shore it's a kind of performance optimization used to help framerate, often for lower-end machines/GPUs
anyone?
calm shore
I have no idea lol
errant rose
@woeful prism well, first, you apparently can't use light culling masks for lightmaps just to get that out of the way (that feature is on the roadmap though.) https://issuetracker.unity3d.com/issues/cullingmask-lightmapping-ignores-lights-culling-mask
@woeful prism I would think you could just disable those specific lights you want exclude before generating lightmaps, and then re-enable them after. maybe write an editor script using layers or tags if you need to automate it for a large number of lights all over the scene hierarchy. HOWEVER this is dependent on the lightmapper having an option to only bake light probes or only bake light maps which afaik is not currently possible either but is on the roadmap: https://forum.unity.com/threads/anyway-to-only-bake-light-probes.728279/
errant rose
@woeful prism so for a proper workflow I'm not exactly sure what to recommend in the meantime other than to voice your feedback. That's just what I could find on the topic.
woeful prism
(thanks for detailed reply anyway)
errant rose
@woeful prism
The only other idea I have as a workaround maybe:
- bake / generate lighting for lightmaps how you want. (first disable the lights you don't want in the light map.)
- make backups of the light maps (assets)
- then re-enable the lights you want for light probes only
- re-generate / bake all lighting (which will bake new light probes that we want ...and new light maps we don't want.)
- replace the new light maps with the light maps assets we actually want that were backed up in the second step.
assuming this even works, you could presumably all put this in an editor script to make it easier / automated
@woeful prism though, at the same time, I discourage investing too much time / resources into workarounds at least not before voicing your feedback to Unity about addressing the feature/limitation properly. Otherwise they'll think it's not a highly demanded feature if everyone quietly grumbles and just uses some silly workaround without voicing feedback.
woeful prism
thats an interesting idea
i was thinkn might be possible to do a workaround where the light probs are in another scene (or prefab) that gets referenced in, delete the world geo and bake the probes. brittle but probably do-able.
for yor solution, do you know, are the lightmaps actually written to disk somewhere? I thought they were imbedded in the binary of the scenefile...
errant rose
@woeful prism yeah as far as i know they are just 2d image files, they look like texture atlases
woeful prism
right, i just cant remeber ever seeing a file on drive; Our version control (perforce) never checks in an actual texture....thats something i can look into
errant rose
you're using progressive lightmapper? or enlighten? maybe there's a difference, idk
woeful prism
not sure, i though enlighten was deprecated? 2019.4.f10
errant rose
i don't use lightmapping much myself, I just know in the HDRP example scene with progressive lightmapper the lightmap is a 2d image asset selected in the lighting window
woeful prism
oh, were URP
you can see it like a 2d atlas as you said, in editor
but dont think you can 'copy' it for later
errant rose
oh, were URP
@woeful prism oh well in that case I thought lighting probes for GI / Global Illumination aren't even supported yet for URP?
there are two GI related features on the URP roadmap currently"under consideration"

haughty plume
i'm using HDRP and wet surfaces, the realtime lights look great, but the camera itself doesnt move around in game, and the baked lighing looks terrible. is there a way of capturing the realtime light and baking that instead? in this pucture the one on the left if baked and the one on the right is realtime
or something like only render that lighting pass on enabled instead of every frame
when i say realtime, i meant mixed, but its having the same effect
violet night
almost all realtime reflection doesn't work with bake lighting
violet night
you probably have to use screen space reflection
or realtime GI
but I not sure realtime GI still exists in Unity or not, the last time I used it for commercial project is 5.6
haughty plume
hmm, i havent used SSR for a while
i might turn down the threshold so it cover that and see what happens
violet night
ok sure, but bear in mind that SSR can be super expensive, so have to play with the setting a bit
haughty plume
yeah, the mixed lights are expensive too
i have a set of six in one place but nothing ever moves in that area
i've not worried too much yet, i'm still building the scene, but frame speed has hit the floor
or roof, the rate hit the floor.....its slow, you get the idea
fallow sail
I'm having some issues with URP's 2D lights and shadows. I'm using a point light that's casting shadows, and it works great, except when you're getting close to a wall that's supposed to cast shadows to the other side of it. The closer you get, the less area the shadow covers.
I'm having trouble finding information on this, or even putting it to words for a google search. Does anyone know anything about this?
haughty plume
well SSR doesn't really seem to notice the lights at all
hah, well 'receive SSR' might help 😛
okay so no, SSR doesnt really help at all
i just kind of see a gentle reflection of the streetlamp on the same flat looking plane
violet night
haha sad to heard that, but since you already using HDRP, so I guess mixed lighting should be fine
but provide some graphic setting to allow user to tweak like shadow distance and etc
haughty plume
we'll see, the downside is i use a zoomed out camera to there is lots on screen, the up side is the camera is fixed and i bet there are loads of cheats to get around the performance, just need to learn them
i stuck a relfection probe in and that had a positive effect but the shadows were still an issue i guess
i was never able to find out what screen space shadows do, why i would want them, why i would not
@fallow sail i dont know but it almost looks like your light is shining under the wall? does it only happen there?
fallow sail
@haughty plume No. Happens on every thin wall in the stage. If I go to the room below it and stick to the wall there, you'd see the effect happen on the top room. Same goes for left-right connected rooms if the wall is thin enough.
It does look like the light is shining from above/under the wall, but not only are they both on the same depth of 0, but I also don't think that the 2D lights care about depth at all, as changing the light to actually be above/under the walls changes nothing in how the end result looks.
haughty plume
k note to self, dont use point lights
fallow sail
@haughty plume Well, no. It's not just point lights. I just verified and all light types behave this way.
I feel like there's something very basic I'm missing, because there's just no way the whole system is broken by just having thin walls in your scene and no one brought it before... Right?
haughty plume
is there like, a shadow limit and or something
i'm not one of the experts, sorry, but in my view, yes you do come across things that are seemingly broken because someone just hasnt come across it
the company i work work gets bug reports sometimes and it's like....er...it's been like this for years!
so if you thicken the affected wall, it stops doing it?
fallow sail
If I thicken it enough then yes, but I can get to the wall from the other side as well, which means that the other side will have shadows that it shouldn't have.
valid edge
how to I get all of the lights to work at once? It seems like I can only activate some by looking at them at certain angles

Use deferred render pipeline for using a lot of lights
Or increase the pixel light count in the quality settings
however performance with multiple lights is a lot better in deferred

@pulsar aspen ok, reposting from #archived-hdrp
I'm having issues with 2D lights and URP. My whole scene (every object with Sprite-Lit-Default) gets evenly lit as soon as I create any light whatsoever (even a low intensity small point light).
I've fixed it by creating a completely new project with a 2D template and setting up URP from scratch, and then importing my assets from the "broken" project.

Am I right in thinking that particles generated by the VFX Graph (the GPU computed one) can't light objects?
I couldn't use one to light up a dark room, I'd have to use a Particle System with lit particles for that.

does anyone know why my shadows dissapeared between my projects?
I think even when I import this using VRC the lights work in it so im assuming I have some editor thing closed
I also have this water shader that is only showing up if the camera is like, stuffed into the mesh
its like theres some weird render distance thing going on

Anyone know any guides for how reflection probes should be placed in-doors? I'm looking for a way to do it programatically. Just placing one per room looks ok for square rooms, but not so much when they need multiple probes
my first instinct was to set it up like this https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/514215010562605076/761080864943243265/unknown.png
but it makes a very visible seem in the L shaped room https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/514215010562605076/761082337273970728/unknown.png
if i blend the smaller one into the bigger one then it just moves the seem https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/514215010562605076/761083610156892190/unknown.png
i tried a grid too.. but that's kinda much worse
wheat bone
how would you do that L shaped room?
wheat bone
it sorta looks wrong on the line between them
i can't blend the big one because then it will 'leak' outside
blending the small one puts artifacts on the floor/ceiling (my second lit pic)

@hardy rivet select mesh > make it shadow both side

I'm making an Unity WebGL Application. And I have some problems with the lights: -The lights was set to realtime and it was good, but suddenly in the new builds of the project the lights stopped working on Safari. I know I should use baked lights with WebGL, but when I'm baking the lights the enemy character (which has a skinned mesh renderer) doesn't receive any lights at all.

Also, anyone know what's causing this weird black circle
It's there as you fly around and in game

Can I have some help please? I need to try fix the lighting on this so it isn't black on one side. I would use emission but it doesn't work well on purple. Any ideas?
lusty vine
I'm trying to have strips that emit light, but unfortunately I can't use emissive sources that aren't static as it requires baking. So I tried faking it using point lights but... as you can see that doesn't look very good, plus shadows don't work. Is there a way to make these strokes emit light? The walls will be moving and the player will be fixed (on the Z axis).
hasty nest
Like there's a whole 180° light angle relative to the chunks angle where the light just doesn't apply. But the other types of lights work perfectly
hasty nest
I'm generating chunks, like minecraft. Each block is composed with quad meshes that I defined in code, the hard way, one for each side of a block. Here's what the quad at the top of a block looks like
Am I doing it right ? 
Because each mesh lightning is working as intended with point lights, but spots and directional lights won't work when the X or Y angle is between -90 and 90.
hasty nest
And when the light is facing exactly downward, it doesn't light anything else than the capsule character

How come in this view of lightmap indices, one of my detail objects, the grass, is visible? There's lots of other grass and flowers on the terrain which do not show up in this view which makes me think these are being lightmapped but they don't seem to be set that way.
near bison
I'm really confused about lighting here...
So I have these rocks on my terrain. I want them to cast shadows on the terrain's lightmap, but not be lightmapped themsevles.
If I hover over the Lightmap Static checkbox it says with it checked the object "will be present in lightmapping calculations". And I want it to be present... For the purposes of casting shadows, but not for the purposes of being lit. In addition, there is a Cast Shadows checkbox. And there is a Scale in lightmap parameter when I check Lightmap Static.
So am I understanding things right, that for it to cast shadows on the terrain, BOTH cast shadows AND lightmap static have to be checked?
Futhermore, to prevent it from being lightmapped, do I just set the lightmap scale to 0?
Finally, if all that is true, what is the purpose of Lightmap Static under the static checkbox up top in the inspector?
near bison
I have an issue where Unity appears to be disabling a point light when I look in a certain direction where I have some spot lights in the distance. These are all realtime, and perhaps I could bake the spotlights, but I'm curious if there's a way to handle this situation without resorting to baked lights. Now, if I could use scripting, the problem would be easy enough to solve, but because this is a world I'm making for VRChat, I can't use scripts. So, I'm wondering if there is some way to disable lights based on distance without resorting to the use of scripts? One option I've heard about is to use triggers to enable lights as you get near them, though this is less than ideal in an outdoor scene, where I would like to be able to see the nearest lights even at a great distance if possible. I did have one idea, but I don't know if it will work. I was thinking about the possibility of using LOD to cull them. But I don't think Unity allows you to attach objects like lights to different LODs on an object, so that option is probably out.

Hey I'm pretty new to unity and I have a procedurally generated maze so I put the lights in realtime and there's always some weird artifacts when I put them in realtime (ig from not having any light maps), is there any way to get rid of these artifacts?

super noob lighting question. I've got a direction light at a 45 degree angle. I've got a top down view of a capsule on a plane. No matter where I move the capsule or light, the shadow doesn't change. Are directional lights more so "global" lights that affected everything regardless of where it is? If I use a spot or point light, I see the affect I would expect

@modern condor did you check 'Generate lightmap UVs' on the mesh?
modern condor
@modern condor did you check 'Generate lightmap UVs' on the mesh?
@covert stirrup I made my own uv2, so I dont want to check that
covert stirrup
Sure, that's correct
So what you're looking at is a lightmap for your entire scene. Unity takes all the static objects and packs them into new UV set which means several objects share the same lightmap
The UVs are scaled based on the scale of your object in your scene
But if the unwrap itself looks borked it might be that the second UV set wasn't exported correctly
covert stirrup
Can you show your UV set list?
covert stirrup
and what does map2 look like?
modern condor
I exported as .fbx because obj doesnt have multiple channels
that was map2
map 1 has all the crazy overlaps because they are different meshes/ textures
covert stirrup
ok sure
Then I'm not sure, I'm afraid
Try swapping the UV sets in the import settings and see if that changes things
covert stirrup
Yea
I guess maybe it still packs per UV island rather than the whole UV set
But that's not what I thought
modern condor
oh god
I think youre right
its not doing it as a whole and treating them as indiciduals
covert stirrup
Yes cause it looks like the islands themselves are the same
modern condor
covert stirrup
You don't have that much padding between your islands, so maybe that forces a new layout
modern condor
does it even recognise they are capable of being on the same texture?
its supposed to be 2k map
hence padding is small
I could try with more space?
modern condor
rather than unity?
covert stirrup
Yeah it packs better and bakes way nicer
modern condor
for lighting??
modern condor
in unity?
modern condor
does it place the baked maps into the same baked lightmaps section?
covert stirrup
In the lighting settings you mean? Yes
modern condor
ah ok, unity doesnt allow custom uv layouts for lightmaps
so the shells are the same but the layout is their own
I will just increase the size so it fits better
modern condor
@covert stirrup I fiddled with it
this is a lot better
still so much wasted space, but this will do

Hi, I'm new here and I've come to solve the problem of lighting the scene. I have placed a few copies of one object (chair) into scene with one direct light as a sun and some emissive objects. Some chairs are ok, but some are very underexposed. I almost accepted that I would have to edit the light map manually.
Is there any solution on random dark objects?
near bison
How can I fix the lighting on my trees? They're bright in the distance, then become darker as I move closer. I understand that they become darker when I move closer because of the shadowmasks, but I don't understand why, with light probes and occlusion probes baked, they're not more closely matching the light when I get close.
keen badger
This is how baked light map looks like in 3D view
near bison
@paper gorge You probably need to mess with bias: https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/ShadowPerformance.html
@paper gorge There's also probably something going on where you have shadowmasking enabled, so those lines are caused by a real time light casting shadow onto the surface.

primal garnet
Hello everyone! I came back with my previous question, because now I have to focus on it. I've asked a couple of weeks ago how could I implement traffic lights in my game. I have tried using area lights, but they seem to cause performance issues. Someone suggested I should use emissive textures, but the emission seems to be caught only when the lighting is baked, and doesn't really work dynamically. So, my question is, how can I simulate this without using too much performance(since it's a mobile game)? (if emissive textures would work in my case, I wouldn't mind trying again, since there are not many explanations online). Any help is appreciated!
covert stirrup
For mobile I would make a fake light. Just a plane with alpha on it that gives an illusion of light
You could use a point light with a tiny range. But it will be less performant
near bison
@primal garnet What sort of effect are you trying to achieve with these traffic lights? Are the lenses supposed to merely appear fully lit, or do you want them to illuminate things around them? If you want them to just appear fully lit, then you just make that part of the texture emissive. If you want them to affect other objects, you can crank that emissive texture up over 1.0 brightness and I believe it will bake the light into surrounding lightmaps, and if you have light probes they'll pick up the light and illuminate dynamic objects. Or you could put a spotlight on them and use that to light the world with either baked light or dynamic light, but if this is for mobile, I would imagine dynamic lights are a no-no, so you will want to stick to baked light and light probes.
jaunty briar
I'm trying to use baked reflection probes whilst using realtime lighting. However, the lighting is animated (flickers), and when it's supposed to be completely dark, the reflection probe (baked from lit environment) forces the brightness up. Is there a way to have a baked reflection probe's intensity react to realtime lights?
To put it differently, I want the scene to be completely black when there's no light, but the baked reflection probe won't allow that obviously.
I know, if I want it to react to lighting, why not use realtime at that point. It's because the platform I'm building for has it blacklisted.
covert stirrup
I would probably bake two separate reflection probes and switch between them hehe @jaunty briar
rough iris
Do you know if there is a way to save your map with baked lighting so you don’t need to bake it again? Also how can I get indirect lighting?
primal garnet
@near bison well, that's the point. Since emissive textures only work when the lightmap is baked, I guess that would mean that changing the lights (for example, from green to red) wouldn't affect the traffic pole, which is supposed to look like it's lighted a bit by the current state of the lights.
But since dynamic lights will cause problems, I guess I'll have to stick to emissive textures, hoping that they'll look alright
covert stirrup
Everything comes at a cost, and on mobile you need to consider value vs cost @primal garnet. I would still use my suggestion over just an emissive material
primal garnet
Hm. I will try that too, although i must find a way to make that look at least close to reality
I haven't really worked with lightning before, so it's quite a challenge, ngl.
covert stirrup
It’s a big topic
near bison
@primal garnet Perhaps you could separate out the stuff which will be hit by the light and then bake three different lightmaps, light probes, and reflection probes for those objects and switch between them somehow?
primal garnet
Yeah, I'll stick to Ole's suggestion 
. I don't think it's really worth the hassle, since mobile games lack those kind of details

How do I make Unity allow me to use more dynamic lights?

I hate baked lighting because it really breaks the emersion in VR because of the lack of real-time shadows, so I want to avoid it as much as possible.
Also in order for baked lighting to work you need to set all of the objects affected to static, which just won't work for what I am doing.

I have a few street lamps set up, each with a point light, centered in the lamp, and when i apply materials to the glass portion of the lamp, the light seems to come and go randomly, not functioning half the time, seemingly randomly.
I have tried from opaque to transparent materials, and it doesnt seem as if anyone is really the problem, sometimes, the light casts through with opaque materials , sometimes it doesnt.
So, i guess im just inquiring as to wether there is some reason light would NOT pass through a faceless piece of geometry. Man , i dont think i make any sense. 😦

Hey guys, I've got an odd issue here
This is the map I'm porting to Unity, with the default skybox. Everything is static, has Generate Lightmap UV's enabled, and is all baked GI.

Still fine. However, when I rotate the skybox to 180...
Any wall that isn't facing the directional light blacks out.
So here's how I "fixed it", but I don't really like how I needed to do it. I've mirrored the directional light, rotated the mesh 180, and leave the skybox to 0.

@paper gorge If you Lightsource is set to "baked" it won't render any non-static objects (setting it to "mixed" bakes the lightmap for static objects and handles non-static objects in realtime. If the Object can be changed to static, it would be preferable).
Another posibility could be that the objects are set to not cast shadows in the mesh renderer component

you can either use bias or, try using hard shadows instead as they seem to have less artifacts (in this case the black lines)

Baking lightmaps is yielding results like these. Does anyone know why?
supple patrol
how did the walls get created?
lusty vine
I don't know. They're from the synthy prototype asset
But also I'm using the default lighting settings from the URP sample scene
I increased the resolution and padding in the lighting settings and it seems to help a bit.
supple patrol
This may be bullshit, but to my eyes this looks like a faulty mesh and normals
lusty vine
But should the settings I changed still work then?
lusty vine
the padding was set to 2, and resolution 16. I updated them to 16 and 64 respectively
click your mesh asset, then enable generate Lightmap UVS
Will try that now
Should I always do that?
I've never even seen that option before
Now I'm getting:
There are 15 objects in the Scene with overlapping UV's. Please see the details list below or use the 'UV Overlap' visualisation mode in the Scene View or Lightmaps in Lighting Settings for more information.
Actually never mind that... I have a different question.
I want to learn everything about lighting to finally understand it instead of guessing constantly. What are the best resources for this?
supple patrol
check out the pinned message in this channel
lusty vine
Pinned messages? Found it, sorry
Why did I choose to do indoor lighting... 😅
Those pinned messages are pretty good, thanks for that.

Why does it seem like Bakery is calculating the light for texels which are outside of the UV's of the objects in the lightmap?
paper gorge
I get so annoyed by lighting XD
Why does the light have this weird grain effect?
I tried lowering the Lux value, the distance, etc.
HDRP 2019.4.10f1

also, can you have too many reflections probes in a scene?
covert stirrup
Yes, reflection probes impact the amount of draw calls
odd flax
hey. I'm using URP. This is a realtime spot light. Is there anything I can do to fix this clipping?
near bison
Why is it even if I have generate lightmap UV's enabled, and all my objects have a scale of 1, it seems like the texels aren't evenly distributed on my objects? Here for example I have a truck, and the windshield appears to have a much higher texel density than the rest of it in spite of all meshes being set to have the same lightmap scale.
supple patrol
if the lightmap scale is the same, wouldn't it make sense that smaller textures have a bigger scale on their respective lightmap?
near bison
No?
If I have a lightmap scale of 10 texels per meter, and I have a 1 meter cube with a 0.1 meter cube sitting on top of it, then I would expect the 1 meter cube to have 10 texels across it, and the 0.1 meter cube to get a single texel of coverage.
That would lead to a consistent lightmap resolution across my scene. Why would I want the windows on my truck there to have far sharper shadows than the rest of the truck just because they're smaller?
supple patrol
on the other hand you'd limit your shadow quality to the biggest object in your scene, tough
near bison
Of course I understand it is impossible to have consistent lighting quality across EVERY object in my scene.
But in the case were I have both small vehicles and large buildings, if I specify I want a lightmap resolution of 10 texels per unit, then Unity should attempt to adhere to that, except in cases where it cannot, in which case, as it already does, it should throw an error that the object cannot fit within the largest lightmap at the specified resolution, and it should automatically reduce the resolution to what will fit, for convenience.
I would much rather have my small and medium size objects adhere to my 10 texels per meter requirement, and have my buildings drop down to 1 texel per meter, than have the scale of my lightmaps all over the place, so I have to go to every tiny object and adjust the scale down manually to make my scene consistent and not have insanely long bake times and wasted lightmap space.
And if Unity does not do this, then why even name the parameter "texels per unit" when clearly that is not actually what that parameter represents?
supple patrol
if you look at the lightmap, are the windows bigger than they should be?
i assume they are a separate object? What's the Scale on those objects?
near bison
The scale of all the objects that make up the truck is 1.
This is after I manually adjusted the scale of the lightmaps on everything.
supple patrol
so you scaled the windows below 1? odd
near bison
Scaled them below 1? No?
The scale of the lightmaps in the scene is 8 texels per unit. But while this resolution was fine for the ground, the car was not getting 8 texels per unit. It looked more like 1 or 2 texels per unit. So I bumped the car's lightmap scale up to 10. Then the windows were too high res, so I lowered those to 5, along with the wheels the undercarriage, and the interior, which all had greater texel density than the body of the car.
But I suppose you could say I scaled the windows below 1... if we consider 1 to be the baseline for the car body. They are half that res. But as you can see the texel density is now the same as the car body.
odd flax
hey. I'm using URP. This is a realtime spot light. Is there anything I can do to fix this clipping?

tall arch
hi guys! i was wondering if there was a way to bake hard shadows in urp? i tried doing it but no matter what it gives me soft shadows
near bison
What am I not understanding here?
The rectangle in the middle is a license plate. It is a 1x1 quad scaled down to .35 x .175.
My lightmap resolution is 8 texels per unit.
I have set the scale in lightmap for the quad to 3.
Now first of all, if I were to assume the checkers on the screen represent texels in the lightmap, it ought to have plenty of resolution. But that doesn't seem to be the case.
And second, 8 texels per unit * a scale of 3 * the quad's width of .35 = 8.4 texels. So I would assume that quad should be covering about 8x4 texels in the lightmap. But it's covering ONE texel in the lightmap.
I also note it is square in the lightmap. So perhaps it does not even take into account the scaling of the object. However in that case, I would expect it to have a resolution of 24x24 texels. Clearly that is not the case either.
So what's going on here?

paper gorge
so this left and right wall both have the same material. how come the left wall turn out more black then the other?
supple patrol
are both walls static?
paper gorge
yea
supple patrol
you have a directional light? Does changing it's direction affect the lighting of the wall?
paper gorge
nope the only lights which are affecting these walls are point, spot and area lights
all pretty much balanced in the middle
supple patrol
is the surface lightmap baked? How does the object look on the Lightmap? Is there maybe an Overlap?
paper gorge
shouldn't overlaps be a problem for the outlines of an object?
supple patrol
if you lightmap is too small to fit everything it just overlays the objects
timber lichen
I would like to give a more darker but yet cartoonish look. Any suggestions? I'm a noob with lightining
timber lichen
@toxic hemlock look into shader pipeline and postprocessing
supple patrol
I would like to give a more darker but yet cartoonish look. Any suggestions? I'm a noob with lightining
@timber lichen More Lightsources like Walltorches would enable you to make the Directional light darker. I'd guess that would help.
You got Normal Maps on your Materials, especially Ground and Wall?
timber lichen
It's sinty assets
I guess there are
anyway I'll try your suggestion! Thanks
What about ambient lightining? Should I use it?
supple patrol
That's really a design decision you have to answer yourself. Ambient light out of nowhere feels fake. But when your player can't see where he's going, it sucks as well.
timber lichen
I see ok! I'll make some tests and post here

Can anybody suggest how to improve lighting in this scene? Using hdrp with directional light set to mixed. when I press build lightmap it doesn't change anything.

@topaz jackal Maybe setup some volumetric lighting; It could really ad some depth and atmosphere to the scene.
timber lichen
@teal stratus thx
onyx prawn
greetings everyone
in your opinion , does light in the back of the car look good?
because in the front it looks better imo
sometimes when driving it starts to look weird in the back, some areas become darker. etc
topaz jackal
@wind anchor ive tried this, but for the most part if I change the settings even a little (like exposure) it makes everything way too dark or bright. I like it the way it is there but for the directional light is there any way to have some kind of light bouncing without raytracing gi? Baked gi doesn’t seem to do much. The inside of the room is still very dark even with the bright directional light shining in
Should I just use point lights to make this effect?
teal stratus
Can anybody suggest how to improve lighting in this scene? Using hdrp with directional light set to mixed. when I press build lightmap it doesn't change anything.
@topaz jackal set the lighting settings to enable baked lighting (indirect or shadowmask) and set all of the static geometry with the proper static option
sometimes when driving it starts to look weird in the back, some areas become darker. etc
@onyx prawn yeah it looks kinda dark
i would add a realtime reflection probe
onyx prawn
@teal stratus thanks, i'll try it when i will be at home and btw while making this i used somekind of random reflection probe i found in my assets and a ssr from post processing stack

lyric oracle
That looks like some shadow bias issues, try playing with the Bias and Normal Bias under the realtime shadows on your light. Lower values can give better results, but at zero you risk artifacts like you've got there. Even bringing them up a very small amount might fix it.
worthy crater
The lighting illuminating all the sides. idk why
atomic ocean
Why i have this weird light in corner? all normals good, its solid model with solid walls
tropic lance
if the shadows aren't baked it's because of the shadowmap resolution, it's a good idea to put a solid wall behind it or if there is one make the wall thicker @atomic ocean
anyone ever have their lightmaps suddenly render/uv improperly? I'm using probuilder and I did all the steps to regenerate lightmap uvs, it was baking perfectly and then I added light probes and it broke, even if I remove the probes it still bakes this way, tried restarting the editor too
I'm using HDRP if that makes any difference
looks like it's not even baking properly

unity is very bad when it comes to lighting

@sharp cedar really? i was thinking that it depends on skills of artist...
mystic dew
not really. i can do good lighting on HDRP and URP pipelines 
sharp cedar
Light bleeds a lot
mystic dew
like ?
sharp cedar
And I would have to pay for an asset to fix it
mystic dew
you about light in the corners of models?
sharp cedar
Yes
mystic dew
here is many ways to fix that
sharp cedar
I already reduced the bias to the minimum
mystic dew
- Lower shadow draw distance and increase shadow map resolution.
2.Place a cube with shadow only render to block those light leaks
sharp cedar
These things shouldnt happen to begin with
mystic dew
well its not really hard to fix those problems by tweaks 2 settings 🤷♂️
sharp cedar
I really want and tried to use unity for my project, but I just keep running into issues that shouldnt be there
mystic dew
@sharp cedar try to place a cube, where are in mesh render have SHADOW ONLY render mode
so it will block light leaks
sharp cedar
Can I fix it without doing this?
mystic dew
@sharp cedar do you know how working shadowmaps in game engines ?
sharp cedar
Nope ;-;
mystic dew
a place where are wall connect can have light leaks
due resolution of shadowmaps in this place not enough to cower it
sharp cedar
So?
sharp cedar
It doesnt work
mystic dew
just place a big cube between sun and room
mystic dew
are you on URP?
sharp cedar
Yes
sharp cedar
What
mystic dew
yes
sharp cedar
Why
mystic dew
well they research more optimized way to draw shadows for Point Light
but atm its not yet possible
sharp cedar
Thats pretty dumb if you ask me
mystic dew
maybe in 2022 URP will support casting shadows from Point Light
so for now place Spot Light with wide 180 degrees setup
topaz jackal
So is baked GI completely removed from HDRP now? I can't get this interior scene to look right. I've tried adding light probes, and reflection probes. I tried increasing indirect intensity on the directional light and increased indirect intensity in the rendering settings. Here's what it looks like with and without baked lightmap.
mystic dew
@topaz jackal no, make sure your models is static and models import settings correct for baked light

Oooh ok, it was a problem with RealtimeCSG settings. Thanks.

@sharp cedar hahah bro, did you watched tutorials about light baking?
seems like you trying do to something that you do not know and blame engine xD
but all here is your blame
A- should be 2
B should be - 40
C should be 2048 or more
@eternal pewter open the lighting tab in Unity. Use gradient lighting instead of skybox light
If you will match your gradient lighting with fog light and sky light, its will looks a lot better
eternal pewter
oh damn that already made it look better
If you will match your gradient lighting with fog light and sky light, its will looks a lot better
Gotcha
thnx
sharp cedar
@mystic dew 1 hour to bake
mystic dew
yea bro, bake light can took long time for get nice result
so work on scene, leave PC bake light at night, go sleep
sharp cedar
Unreal takes 10 mins at maximum tho...
mystic dew
well, maybe on UE you bake at super low quality and small scene ?
What can cause longer time to bake -
- Bad imported objects.
- Bad settings.
- Very big scene with a lot of props to bake
those factors can cause longer time to bake.
ofc in UE4 and Unity itself i can place single cube, setup 8k lightmaps and bake everything in less that one min.

im making a dust2 mod for a unity game. using mixed lightning and it shines between some meshes. why is that and how can it be fixed?
eternal pewter
This definitely looks much better, but can I do anything else? I can't really get the feel from the scene
mystic dew
but what you would like to achieve exactly ? @eternal pewter
mystic dew
click on sun, and make shadows soft only
if you are on URP, you can added volume component to empty gameboject and create PP effects
eternal pewter
Well that's the problem, I don't really know. I'm just playing around with the scene and trying to keep what I like. Just trying to make the place look more believable.
click on sun, and make shadows soft only
A sun?
if you are on URP, you can added volume component to empty gameboject and create PP effects
Yup already doing that
mystic dew
Directional light - its a sun 😄
mystic dew
Check URP Render pipeline settings for soft light checkbox's
eternal pewter
Ah ok working
BTW how many cascades should I have?
Not even sure what they do, seems like reducing cascades to 2 from 4 makes things much softer
mystic dew
you can have 2 cascades and 25-50 units draw shadows distance
eternal pewter
Yes, better

@sharp cedar go to scene view and click on shading mode to show lightbake

omg, your model lightmaps is soooo ugly
its should be only squares
and better to keep same pixels density on every objects
sharp cedar
How can I fix it
mystic dew
did you model those objects?
sharp cedar
Those are assets
eternal pewter
Take it to a 3D software and play with the UVs
mystic dew
well first:
1.Open asset store and write BAD review about this asset.
2. Go to FBX file that contain those 3d models, open import settigns and make sure its have procedural UV map generator
eternal pewter
Those are assets

2 question
- Why is everything transparent?
- Why I see so squares on the mountain?
covert stirrup
- Because you haven't baked yet
- Because their scale in lightmap is too low, which is set on each mesh in the scene
@eternal pewter
eternal pewter
First one I figured, second one turned out that I didn't had the Lightmap UV thing turned on, in the import settings, doing that gave we checker marks on all the objects

It gets kind of resolved if I increase the near plane for shadows, but that's not gonna work in all situations

Hello, a quick lightmapping question.. do people/studios ever bake their lightmaps in other 3d software nowadays? If so, I was wondering how you would go about applying these lightmaps (using a custom material that has the extra texture input slot?). I noticed the old lightmapped materials are now "legacy".
Or would you just bake it into the diffuse rgb, if you were going to take the external software route, forgoing the extra UV set?
