This might be a bug idk

Did you try clearing light cache and baking again with indirect intensity of 1?

[proven olive]

nope, didn't work

tried to turn off clouds, lens flares, shadows

[silk coyote]

Try making a test bake with new settings in a new scene using just unity's own cubes

Make sure that works properly, then introduce the house mesh into the test scene

I claimed that the indirect intensity variable would cause the glowing corners, but this doesn't seem to be the case

It's a bit weird to me that you don't have "min bounces" option at all

Which unity version + render pipeline is this?

[proven olive]

I started playing around this in 2021 LTS, switched to 2023 alpha, but here it exactly the same. HDRP.

[silk coyote]

I can't replicate it so it might be an alpha problem
But do try a default bake test scene

[proven olive]

Yeah baking on new scene helped somehow

hmm this is related to mixed-baked mode, not happens when using realtime baking

@silk coyote

[silk coyote]

"realtime baking"?

Is that a new thing

Realtime as opposed to mixed or baked normally means "not baked"

[proven olive]

ig this related to enlighten

[silk coyote]

Enlighten is 100% different system from the progressive lightmapper so it's likely that they don't suffer from the same issues

You should report bugs you encounter in alpha and beta editors using the bug reporter, but note that when doing version upgrades on a project you'll likely encounter much more problems than you normally would

[proven olive]

Thing is exact same happens in 2021 LTS, hence I thought it's fixed in new versions

[silk coyote]

You can report it for that version too if you can reliably reproduce it

[silk coyote]

Does this mean you can do non-glowy bakes with the default settings?

[proven olive]

yes, from new scene I had directional light as realtime hence no artifacts after baking

but switching to mixed or baked showing results seen above

[silk coyote]

If a light is marked as realtime it's excluded from baking entirely

[proven olive]

makes sense

[silk coyote]

this is different from "realtime global illumination" in the lighting window

Which refers to Enlighten, which is a "precomputed realtime global illumination" system

[proven olive]

I mean I didn't notice that I had it in realtime, so I thought it's fixed

aight, I'll just leave a post on the forums

thanks for help

[silk coyote]

So, that seems to indicate that baking is totally broken regardless of settings or meshes used

or version used

One more thing you could try is to bake with CPU instead of GPU
they may have different quirks

[proven olive]

oh yea, worth to try
