#is it the same as just regular bake?

2022.4.9f1
i found lighting the scene normally to be much better this time around but i want to be able to pick up my axolotl (stacy) in game\
i was a struggle when i did a similar project a while back

You can view the baked light on your probes.
Not sure if this setting was there in 2022.4 where it is now.
in 2023 its here
faint heron
in 2022 it might be in the bake settings
wicked coral
yes i found that
faint heron
yeah. with this settings, you should see your probes in the scene
wicked coral
do i use bake indirect or subtractive?
faint heron
That has nothing to do with the probes
wicked coral
noted
faint heron
for me it looks like that
faint heron
yeah, i just need the detail there ^^
faint heron
you can see how the probes are lit from the cristal
wicked coral
yes
faint heron
yours are yellow because you selected them.
Deselect them and you should see their light info
faint heron
alright.
yeah you baked your axolotl now
wicked coral
i though bake is for static objects
faint heron
it is.
Maybe you set it to static? ^^
Otherwise you wouldnt see his shadow where it stands before
faint heron
there are light probes inside geometry, which will fuck up your results, because they are just black
faint heron
move them out of the shelf or delete them ^^
wicked coral
hmm okay
i will say this works at least
the lighting feels too... sharp/ dark tho, but think thats the probes i'll fix those
faint heron
here is a possible light probe setup
wicked coral
trying that rn as we speak
faint heron
start placing them on the ground
then duplicate and maybe lift them up by 1 meter
lighht probes should be placed were light changes from light to shadow, so you axolotl can change its light, when it moves into the dark.
wicked coral
right
rebaking
i had issues before hand cause i made her static and she looked this
that was a fricking nightmare to figure out
then i learned i actually want to be able to pick her up
YO that worked!
she's looks soo good 🥹
omg this is gonna be so nice for when i throw this into vr
i guess other minor issues i have is when the lighting does this-
faint heron
i guess other minor issues i have is when the lighting does this-
if you dont have anything under the ceiling, you could delete some probes up there ^^
wicked coral
there aren't really any probes up there-
faint heron
Not sure what i see there with the light.
Is is leaking through the edge?
faint heron
there aren't really any probes up there-
try delete the pitch black probes, because they will make your dynamic objects look weirdly dark if they are close to them
wicked coral
i see
also yeah moving the roof did nothing lol
i remember reading something about that i just dont know how to fix it
faint heron
can you show this from a different angle? Not sure where this light comes from
wicked coral
does this help?
faint heron
maybe adjusting the near plane of your light helps
wicked coral
i was just about to mention that
yup
i made a really good choice coming here lol
