Am quite new to Unity6 and have been watching videos but am struggling to decide on the right technique. I mean really my goal here is to create a nice portfolio piece, whilst learning how to make scenes look good with URP's limitations. I am currently using APV whilst also light baking, I'm not actually sure if that's a good combination? Some resources have suggested it is whilst others paint AVP as a replacement to light baking?

Anyway, will post a image of my current scene. I see a lot wrong with it but the main thing is why my human/cube don't cast shadows. They have shadow casting on.

Directional light was set to RT, changed to mix. Now getting shadows BUT now my AVP doesn't show up when baking.

Ok, got directional shadows and AVP working now (had to select all mess and set them to recieve GI from probes)

but then changing GI to probes instead of lightmaps results in no baked lightmaps? which suggests APV is a replacement to baking?

Oh, directional light needed to be set to baked, not mixed.

Going with lightbaking over APV. Here's my settings, anything seem odd with this?

All I'm changing here is lightmap resolution

APVs aren't affected by lightmap resolution

Yep, I personally find it confusing as it's generally comparing itself to lightprobes rather than traditional light baking which is what I'm trying to compare it with. I can read the pros and cons of APV but have trouble weighing them up to determine the best course of action for my specific project.

Ok, made some improvements. This uses shadowmask, Mixed directional light, APV, SSAO.
