Okay, Overlap looks okay for your Wall pieces. But you can see, that you have no Lightmap UVs there

(no checkerboard)

How does the "Baked Lightmap" view looks in the Debug View? ^^

[celest zinc]

OK so does this mean i am not generating lightmap uv for some parts?

[red rover]

Ok, As you can see, the ground is nice

The Door Frames are stretched af

[celest zinc]

So if it is checker, that means that is ok and what i want?

[celest zinc]

yeh. although i have been really trying over the last few weeks. i been struggling. this debug view is good advice! to help see where i am going wrong

[red rover]

Only the ground is fine, yeah.. and your bar on some parts is fine too ^^

[celest zinc]

so that is why i do not have the lighting effect i want. unity is basically not creating a map for the entire scene

[red rover]

Now check check the Import Settings of your Wall.
Did you really Check "Generate Lightmap UVs" for this?

It does. but it uses only few Lightmap pixels for your entire wall ^^

[celest zinc]

Just to clarify. does import settings, mean inspector settings

[red rover]

click on the Model of your wall, then you see the import settings

[celest zinc]

I do not see that

[red rover]

In the Project, not the Hierarchy

[celest zinc]

Yeh i really did click the generate UVs

[red rover]

Ok, interesting ;D

Can you send me your Bar.fbx? ^^

i have a look

[celest zinc]

To be honest. I would prefer not to do that

But i really do appreciate your help

[red rover]

Okay. Give me a minute to think whats happening there ^^

[celest zinc]

The lighting has been driving me crazy. At first i had all lighting set to real time. but its very hard to see the lighting as it switches on and off all the time. Then when set as baked does not give what i want, and too bright too.

[red rover]

Welcome 😄

[celest zinc]

I just joined your discord

[red rover]

What happens to your checkerboards if you untick the generate lightmap uv and apply?

[celest zinc]

when i untick then click apply

[red rover]

Better, but still not good.
Now tick it again and apply?
And use this settings:

[celest zinc]

I get the error above. might be a clue

[red rover]

with my settings?

[celest zinc]

yes

[red rover]

well, something is fked up with your scene or the model ^^

[celest zinc]

By the way. I do have a VRChat SDK installed on my unity. i dont know if that would interfere with things. i am making this model for that

[red rover]

not really

if its ok for you, just export me the walls of your model as fbx

[celest zinc]

ok will do. actually i will export the walls, floor, copper shelfs and spot lights

[red rover]

you can send me in privat if you prefer

[celest zinc]

also. does it matter is lights are mixed in with model objects?

it is using lights brought over from blender

[red rover]

i just need the fbx of your Bar there, nothing else

[celest zinc]

i know. i just meant in general, when using unity

[red rover]

no they dont work

[celest zinc]

thats the setup i have. i do not have lights in there own folder. its part of the model

[red rover]

Normally you only bring your Models and Animations from Blender, the rest should be done in Unity

[celest zinc]

maybe i am better of deleting all lights then, and creating those again. just getting fbx now

[red rover]

In your case, i would import just the model as fbx, place a single light and try to bake it, to figure out where the problem lies.

Im afk for about 20 min. I can have a look on the model etc. when im back

[celest zinc]

OK. i really appreciated the help. and good advice

[red rover]

Alright, here is my Feedback:

1. You have several Ngons (Faces with > 4 vertices) you should fix this and make them to quads (4 vertices) or triangles (3 vertices)
2. You will get problems with Z-Fighting. Means that you have faces on the same Position. The GPU cant decide which must be rendered on top.
3. Your Scalings are not correct, fix them with Ctrl+A > Rotation&Scale

[celest zinc]

Thank you. Do you think this may sort out my light issues? or do you think i should break my entire model down into seperate models

[red rover]

ITs fine to have just one model.
I guess if you fix the model you can generate usefull Lightmap UVs in Unity

[celest zinc]

thanks. to fix scale, would i just need to input 1,1,1 into the scale at top right?

[red rover]

you fix scale in Blender

like in my screenshot

Apply Scale and Rotation with CTRL + A > Apply Rotation + Scale
