idk why this happend and how to fix it

[gritty cobalt]

Let's make a thread, this may take a bit 🙂

[rare trench]

😦

[gritty cobalt]

Can you take a screenshot of the Light Explorer? Window > Rendering > Light Explorer

[rare trench]

this?

[gritty cobalt]

yea, can you sort by mode?

[gritty cobalt]

okay there's way too many 😆

to tell what's going on

[rare trench]

this scene is using to much lighting XD

[gritty cobalt]

I think what's happening is that the ceiling or walls don't have backfaces so realtime or mixed lights from the outside creep into the indoor room

[rare trench]

this is fixing itself when i start the game 2 times

[gritty cobalt]

oh?

[rare trench]

the first its like i met jesus but the second time that i start the game it fixes itself but i cant turn it dark

[gritty cobalt]

what do you mean start the game?

[rare trench]

and when i go into the editor its the same again

playing it from the engine

[gritty cobalt]

in the editor it's bright
playmode first time bright
editor again bright
playmode second time darker?

[rare trench]

when i hit play the first time its not fixed but when i hit play the second time its fixed

[rare trench]

yeah

but not darked

just not that bright

the second time its getting little by little not that bright here when its fixed

but it happend everytime when i play the game in the editor

[gritty cobalt]

oh that looks nice

no clue what that happens though

[rare trench]

and when i stop the game its getting bright little by little

[gritty cobalt]

are you using hdrp?

[rare trench]

no i am using the default

[gritty cobalt]

can you send me a screenshot of the Lighting window?

the whole thing- also which editor version is this?

[rare trench]

2022.3.4f1

all of this right?

[gritty cobalt]

yes, perfect!

what might be happening... is that realtime global illumination is for some reason still baking as you go into and out of playmode

this is an impressive number of lightmaps 😂

[rare trench]

yeah my pc almost committed suicide

my cpu is not that good for baking XD

it baked 2 days

[gritty cobalt]

[rare trench]

if there is a talk in the server i could show you exactly what you want

😦

i am not that great with lighting even my friend that is pro in the unity engine said this "Welcome to the lighting world" when i send him this picture XD

[gritty cobalt]

no 😦
so you probably don't need both realtime global illumination and baked at the same time unless you have lots of moving lights

if you have a decent gpu (4gb or above vram) you can use the gpu lightmapper

[rare trench]

also i forgot

to show this

[gritty cobalt]

ah it may be that "recalculate env lighting" thing 🤔

[rare trench]

my gpu is 6gb

[gritty cobalt]

nice, gpu lightmapper is like 5 times faster

[rare trench]

but my cpu is 6 cores only i5-9400f 😦

also i backed with my cpu

[gritty cobalt]

sample counts, filtering, and lightmap resolution all make the bake take longer

[rare trench]

and my cpu almost backed itself with the default cooling XD

[gritty cobalt]

I would say:

• switch to gpu lightmapper
• turn off realtime global illumination if it's not necessary
• lower the settings I mentioned above

you will get a worse image but you'll get much faster bakes.
turn off all realtime lights and rebake

[rare trench]

?

[gritty cobalt]

then turn on the realtime lights one by one and see if there's one that bleeds into the scene

[gritty cobalt]

for some reason opencl can't find the gpu until you start a gpu bake

we're in the process of getting rid of it 😄

[rare trench]

can i ask do you know good values for them?

[gritty cobalt]

for samples go for 8, filtering you can keep at None, resolution try 10

this is super low btw to debug the super bright lighting

[rare trench]

like this?

[gritty cobalt]

yeah take padding down to 2 and the rest of the samples down to 8

and turn off progressive updates

[rare trench]

sheesh

like this and try to bake again?

[gritty cobalt]

yes and without progressive updates

it should bake fast

[rare trench]

and generate lighting

[gritty cobalt]

yes

[rare trench]

ok its baking lets see if it will fix this without going back to the same good lighting but lagging to much XD

[gritty cobalt]

these settings will just allow you to work quicker at figuring out what the problem was, you'll have to bump the settings up once you've solved it

right now it's gonna look real bad

did you turn off realtime global illumination above btw?

[rare trench]

yeah?

[gritty cobalt]

this stuff above it

that uses the CPU, can't use the GPU

[rare trench]

😬

nope

[gritty cobalt]

please do, it bakes very slowly, especially with a large scene like yours (I think?)

[rare trench]

maybe its finishing

[gritty cobalt]

it's processing the scene before baking

if you click the bar you'll see a bit more info (not much)

[rare trench]

so do i force stop it and try again

[gritty cobalt]

no, you should be fine, it restarted

[gritty cobalt]

you also have 2 light probes? is there terrain in your scene?

with like exactly 2 trees?

[rare trench]

yeah

[gritty cobalt]

are all the realtime lights off?

[rare trench]

nope

and inside the box

its like party in here

[gritty cobalt]

yep that's the individual samples

[rare trench]

the other rooms doesn't have this problem

[gritty cobalt]

this almost certainly has a realtime light causing all that brightness then

[gritty cobalt]

does this room have small colorful emissive objects?

[rare trench]

and now when i play the game it fixed it self when i move my camera head or my player object

[gritty cobalt]

but in the editor it's super blown out?

maybe it's some post-processing ??

[rare trench]

yeah its bright more than heaven

also for some reason i have reflection now that its little glitchy when i open the right door its staying the reflection without moving with the door

idk if you can see it

can i post video clip in here?

[gritty cobalt]

I think so

[rare trench]

k i will try with obs

[rare trench]

can i post links so i can upload it to youtube so you can see what i mean by brighting little by little and lowering the brigthness little by little

[gritty cobalt]

yeah sure

[rare trench]

ok i can post it in here

[rare trench]

if you like i will post it in mp4 if the mkv format want to download it not watch it from discord

here

[rare trench]

idk what is happening bro

XD

also don't worry about the warnings they are from old script of mine that i deleted

[gritty cobalt]

ok I know what's up with this I have a meeting rn I'll get back to you

you still didn't turn off realtime gi btw 😂

[rare trench]

Do i turn it off and try again?

[gritty cobalt]

the readjustment is just because of a setting

[rare trench]

so i will turn off the realtime gi and try again to bake it

[rare trench]

also the box that you are seeing is shadow caster

[rare trench]

from here

[gritty cobalt]

yeah makes sense

[rare trench]

so here is the settings

and here is the result

😄

thank god i have a backup scene

with the old settings

[rare trench]

so the problem its fixed with the bright room but now some texture are to bright

and again only in this room

[rare trench]

and the first garage door

the second garage door its like it is getting affected xd

[rare trench]

@gritty cobalt this is when i hit play in the game

and this is from the editor

[rare trench]

its like this only in the editor but in the game its fixet intantly when i click play

[gritty cobalt]

hey done with my meeting 🙂

[gritty cobalt]

huh why is this so different

okay some thoughts-- some objects don't seem to be static/lightmapped since they are moving, like the doors. you can you light probes for those

[rare trench]

i am using light probes

[gritty cobalt]

if you increase the sample counts and the resolution back up and turn on filtering most of all this noise will go away

[rare trench]

in this room

[gritty cobalt]

the objects need to receive from probes

note that light probes and reflection probes are different right

make sure that all the objects that seem to be misbehaving are set up correctly, you've clicked "generate lightmap UVs" in their model importer settings and everything like that

there's too many things to look at and debug in the scene you show, I'd go one by one. and maybe 8 samples was too few but your scene is large, you can choose higher settings if you want less noise but are willing to wait a bit longer

unfortunately baked lighting and lightmapping is not very beginner friendly, I hope the system was more intuitive / beginner friendly. there are some resources in the pinned messages if you want to really learn

I'll be back tomorrow, need to go now 🙂 let me know if you make progress or hit some other snag, just know it will take a while for you to set everything up and you should do it piece by piece and methodically

[rare trench]

ok i will try different

[rare trench]

do i try frame debugger

i have delay on the lighting
