I have a direct light above and this emission material
I've had this issue with point lights aswell
I'll test a point light
Point light fixed
vague hound
in the end its a very dark place with a small light source.
Its possible that this cause problems.
You could increase the bounces and samples of the light.
trim raven
Hm okay
vague hound
Best way would be to fake the light in your room there i guess
trim raven
Thanks do you have any clue why only the corners get light with the emission?
vague hound
which corners
trim raven
The rest of the strip is bloom and the corners are getting a shit ton of light
Let me disable bloom
It doesn't seem like any light is actually coming from the rest of the strip
vague hound
It does, but the light has nothing to shine on.
In the corner it shines directly on the other wall.
vague hound
if you place a plane with 90° angle there in the middle of the line, it would look the same
trim raven
Think I could circumvent that a little by rounding corners?
Damn thats so weird I added a cube and the other side of the cube even has issues
vague hound
I would try to use a nice amount of emission on this line so it does LOOK LIKE its birhgt enough to light up the room and add bloom to it.
But to light up the room i would add some area lights i guess to just make it look like that your strips are lighting it up.
Gamedesign or Lighting is often just the art of faking things 😄
trim raven
Just want to check I'm not shitting myself with these settings
Is the texels, bounces, samples all okay?
vague hound
are you using bakery?
trim raven
Indeed I am
vague hound
thats why you cant see UV Overlap. lol
trim raven
Sorry thought you knew, I mentioned that prior to when you joined in it**
vague hound
unity is not supporting the debug views for bakery lightmaps
trim raven
Ohh
vague hound
which unity version are you using?
vague hound
i used bakery a while ago, too.
I just switched back to the unity lightmapper, since it can handle GPU Lightbaking.
vague hound
i think the unity light baking workflow is way easier than bakery
trim raven
i used bakery a while ago, too.
I just switched back to the unity lightmapper, s...
Isn't bakery based on gpu
vague hound
it is
but back in the day, unity was CPU based, thats why bakery was so good, because it used the GPU ^^
But today, unity is using GPU too
maybe give the unity lightmapper a try and see how it works
here are some quite good settings i use, if you want to try it
trim raven
Unity lightmapper seems SOOO much more slower especially since I'm doing vrchat world development I have a lot of stuff to keep checking
I'll give it a shot I guess
vague hound
(if you use CPU, its slow, yeah)
trim raven
With your settings
vague hound
and this is just one third of the resolution you used with bakery
vague hound
30 seconds?
vague hound
I mean yeah compared to bakery 4096 in 8-10 seconds
sure, but do you want to have dozens of 4k lightmaps in your VR-Chat Map? ^^
thats like hundreds of MB just for Lightmaps
trim raven
true
vague hound
you should try to get away with maybe a few 2k lightmaps maximum
trim raven
is this amount of uv overlaps ok?
I'm not sure what's causing them
Gonna try fixing it by adding some island margining
vague hound
you can see whats overlapping here
in my case, i have overlapping too, but its not visible, so i dont care for it
trim raven
I fixed the overlapping
vague hound
if you dont want this dark edges, try to uncheck AO
increase texel resolution
and i guess it will look good
trim raven
What texel res should I go for
vague hound
Start with maybe 50 and go down as low as possible as long as you can live with the quality ^^
the lower it is the lower will be the size of your lightmaps later on 🙂
trim raven
Oh shit bakery lighting is fixed
vague hound
im doing VR Development for Quest 3 and i alway try to get away with one 1024x1024 lightmap for an indoor scene.
trim raven
How many bounces / samples for global illumination are normally used?
vague hound
that what i send you
trim raven
Oh right the picture
vague hound
you can increase it, but it will make the baking process longer
trim raven
im doing VR Development for Quest 3 and i alway try to get away with one 1024x10...
Oh sweet I'm looking to upgrade to a quest 3 eventually, isn't the resolution on it crazy?
vague hound
its great yeah 🙂
trim raven
I might OC my quest in the meantime because I PCVR
