Not without informations about your bake settings, your scene, ysome screenshots etc.

Heres how big it is. (Cube on the bottom is 1 meter)

@void pier . sorry for @ ing you, didnt know if you saw these or not

void pier
#

Looks fine. So whats the problem?

sharp phoenix
#

This, when using CPU for baking

#

And this when using my GPU for baking

sharp phoenix
void pier
sharp phoenix
#

whats that

#

this?

void pier
#

Yeah. Beside that is a small arrow where you can set detailed static levels

#

GI Static means, that its included into the Global Illumination calculation process (baking)

sharp phoenix
void pier
#

i can imagine, that by unticking GI Static for the fence, it should work.
Because the fence is way to small to be baked good.

sharp phoenix
#

alright, ill try that

void pier
#

Very small Objects often lead to extreme baking times

sharp phoenix
#

alright, should i untick it on all the small things?

#

Like, my stairs, their just a bunch of cylinders

void pier
#

is all of this made with probuilder?

sharp phoenix
#

yeah, i dont know how to use anything else

void pier
#

For the steps i would try it out. Maybe it works.
We should check how good the Lightmap UVs look for them.

To have a look how your Lightmap UVs look like
you have different options. Which Unity version are you on?

sharp phoenix
void pier
#

up here is a little dropdown window. In 2022 it looks a little different to mine, but there is "Contributors & receivers"
If you toggle this on and enable the checkerboard view, you can see the resolution of your Lightmap on the objects.

sharp phoenix
#

like this?

#

one meter cube for scale

image.png
void pier
#

yeah, looks good.
You always need a nice checkerboard to make sure everything is alright!

#

and there you can see, that your fence and the cube wont be baked

#

thats also good for planning whats getting baked and what not !

void pier
# sharp phoenix

for the first bake, i would recommend lowering the "Lightmap Resolution" from 20 to 5
It wont be beautiful with this resolution, but you will see if it works.
You can crank this up later!

sharp phoenix
#

alright

#

btw should glass-like object be static?

#

like windows

sharp phoenix
#

not very pretty

void pier
#

so something is wrong with your stairs.
If you watch the Contributor/Receiver view, you can have a look if they are shows blue?

#

(dont know which color means what in your version)

sharp phoenix
#

i unticked the thing*

#

for the stairs since its just a bunch of cylinders and it might have been causing an issue

void pier
#

yeah, turn in on and have a look which colors the stairs have.
It looks like there is something wrong with them 😄

void pier
sharp phoenix
#

oh wait i guess its turned on

#

weird

#

should i re-bake just incase

void pier
#

not sure what i see there,
The checkerboard looks stretched?

sharp phoenix
#

im not sure, it looks like it

void pier
#

any errors in the console?

#

like "overlappingUVs" ?

sharp phoenix
#

not referring to the stairs no, but other objects yes

void pier
#

try to increase it to 20 again

sharp phoenix
#

increase to 20 and run the bake or increase to 20 and look at the checkerboard of the stairs

void pier
#

bake ^^

sharp phoenix
#

should i clear the last bake

void pier
#

no its automatically cleared

sharp phoenix
#

oh ok

#

it just got stuck on this and lagged my pc

#

and gave me the GPU memory error again

void pier
#

Do you work on very old hardware?

sharp phoenix
#

im not sure if its very old, 1080TI and Ryzen 5 2600

void pier
#

oh well that should handle it easy

sharp phoenix
#

or, actually

#

8gb of gpu memory isnt enought to handle the bake, so it changes to cpu

void pier
#

thats weird and should not happen with a 1080TI

sharp phoenix
#

when it was on 5 it baked perfectly fine in like 3-4 seconds

#

but 20 is too much ig

void pier
#

Can you bake with 5 texels again and show me that?

image.png
sharp phoenix
#

bake time?

void pier
#

and amount of baked lightmaps

#

and size

sharp phoenix
#

oh yea

void pier
#

Thats so weird

#

Okay.
Are you bound to your Unity Version (2022.3) ?
Or can you update it?

sharp phoenix
#

im not sure, im making a vrchat world and i dont think they have sdks for newer versions. plus i dont wanna risk loosing anything since i've been working on this for about a week

sharp phoenix
#

could it be an issue with a reflection probe?

void pier
#

I would recommend trying a new scene, ad a bunch of cubes on a plane and bake it on a high resolution.
And make sure if it crashes too.
Then something is wrong with your hardware / unity version i guess

sharp phoenix
#

if i "Save scene as" and put it in a folder, will that keep all my stuff safe?

void pier
#

Hmm, no.

#

What do you mean with "all"

#

The scene is just your level (the house and garden)

#

If you save the scene you can come back at any time to this house

sharp phoenix
#

nvm, i just made a new scene and disabled the other one

image.png
void pier
#

thats not a great way

#

i have several scenes for each level

image.png
#

you can jump between them

#

do a right click in the Project window, create new scene and then double click it to get into it

#

there you can test the bakining of normal cubes and if they work for you. (they should)

sharp phoenix
#

the baking isnt working. im not sure how i got it to work in the other scene

void pier
#

Did you add objects (Set to static) and a light (set to baked) ? ^^

sharp phoenix
#

ah, i forgot to set static, my bad

#

thats at 20

void pier
#

yeah, now grab everything and duplicate it like 20 times 😄

sharp phoenix
#

with normal unity cubes and a pro-builder sprite as the ground

sharp phoenix
void pier
#

to challange your GPU ^^

sharp phoenix
void pier
#

Thats sad

sharp phoenix
#

it failed :/

#

well, what now

void pier
#

Is your GPU updated?

sharp phoenix
#

like drivers?

void pier
#

yep

sharp phoenix
#

oh shit i didnt even realise, there was an update 3 days ago

#

ima go update that rq lol

#

is it safe to leave unity open while i do

void pier
#

sure

#

But that 3 day old update wont fix the problem i guess

sharp phoenix
#

damn, im using game ready drivers btw. should i use studio drivers instead?

void pier
#

no thats not a problem

sharp phoenix
#

okay

sharp phoenix
#

or will it not contribute to unity whatsoever

void pier
#

i guess you dont, if your current driver isnt 2 years old 😄

#

Try those settings for your bake

image.png
#

Oh.. better uncheck Ambient Occlusion

sharp phoenix
void pier
#

test

#

just to make sure its nothing wrong with your building

sharp phoenix
#

(error is old)

sharp phoenix
void pier
#

it just takes memory

#

and you dont have that atm

#

😄

sharp phoenix
void pier
#

sure, it adds ambient occlusion to the light maps ^^

sharp phoenix
#

oh ok

void pier
#

yay

#

so i guess it was a problem with your setting.

sharp phoenix
#

should i try those settings on the house scene?

void pier
#

yeah

sharp phoenix
#

lookin good

void pier
#

i hope it wont need 48min 😄

sharp phoenix
#

it dropped to 20 lol

#

now 10

#

should i let it finish and see how it looks

void pier
#

yeah

sharp phoenix
#

alr

#

(The squares are pieces that i put) It looks nice but idk whats going on with the lighting in image 3

image.png image.png image.png image.png
#

@void pier

void pier
#

Can you show the Baked lightmap Debug View?

image.png
#

of the wall with the artifacts

sharp phoenix
void pier
#

There is also a "Texel Validity" Debug View, how does that look?

sharp phoenix
void pier
#

there you go

sharp phoenix
#

ty. its late rn for me. can we continue this tomorrow?

void pier
#

its in the morning for me 😄
So yeah ^^

sharp phoenix
#
