Hm, right now i have no clue.
Need to dig deeper. Can you show me the lightmap itself?

red wave Oct 7, 2023, 1:08 PM

#

ok

#

#

there it is. That weird painted look

nimble birch Oct 7, 2023, 1:11 PM

#

Okay.
Whats the reason you use only this one light sorce on the side?

#

How do you want your scene to look like?

#

this is my scene on blender. I tried lighting it there first

nimble birch Oct 7, 2023, 1:14 PM

#

Okay. In Blender you used several different Light sources. Why didnt you do this in Unity? 🙂

red wave Oct 7, 2023, 1:14 PM

#

I used only one light source there because I was getting the same result when I was using multiple. all of which were emissive materials. Using one area light would be way easier to bake and rebake instead of waiting long for full bake only to get same result

nimble birch Okay. In Blender you used several different Light sources. Why didnt you do this...

Ok so I should light up the area with unity point lights first?

nimble birch Oct 7, 2023, 1:15 PM

#

i would recomment starting with some small tests, if you are not firm using unity lighting

#

Point lights are not really a good way to light up rooms

Spot?

nimble birch Oct 7, 2023, 1:16 PM

#

You could start with a basic environment light.
So you have the base brightness for your rooms

#

(colors and shadow depending on YOUR needs)

#

This will help to light up the complete scene a little.

#

it's indoors though would it still work?

nimble birch Oct 7, 2023, 1:18 PM

#

Environment light is applied on everything in the scene

red wave Oct 7, 2023, 1:19 PM

#

oh

nimble birch Oct 7, 2023, 1:19 PM

#

then i would continue and add some big area lights, to give the rooms a personal touch

#

#

and then more detailed lights (also area lights)

#

and for sure emission on your (texture/mesh) lights to make them look bright

red wave Oct 7, 2023, 1:21 PM

#

I'll do that. Can I leave this thread on so I can get back to u on results?

nimble birch Oct 7, 2023, 1:21 PM

#

sure

#

btw: its always easier to start and learn lighting in a small room, to test results

red wave Oct 7, 2023, 1:22 PM

#

ok I should design one or probably even just make em out of cubes

nimble birch Oct 7, 2023, 1:22 PM

#

And you should use GPU Lightmapper (not CPU) to speed up the process (if you have a potent GPU)

nimble birch Oct 7, 2023, 1:23 PM

#

nimble birch

maybe start with this room first

red wave Oct 7, 2023, 1:23 PM

#

I have a strong gpu

nimble birch Oct 7, 2023, 1:24 PM

#

so go for it and use it ^^

red wave Oct 7, 2023, 1:24 PM

#

I'll do that

#

tnks a lot man
