Hi everyone, im fresh beginner on unity, and im stuck here, how i can fix this lightning?
so, i got this modular pipe assets from assets store, and tried to make them close even tried to merge, yet each part have different lightning
i would appreciate if anyone guide me to solution on this topic

I'd start by going to windows, rendering and the lighting window. If you select the drop down for generating lighting, you can clear baked lighting data.
If you have a reflection probe in your scene, you may need to increase the distance or add another to cover the entire pipe.

@haughty dagger deleted all baked lightnings, and there is no reflection probe in my scene
still same
changing ambiant color to white helped it a little
but yeah, there is still some left

Is this one object or several? Can you also send a picture of the image in the defuse of the material? I wonder if it's a texture atlas and that there are variations to material and it jas to do with the objects UV

Mostly looks like one of the pipe sections has inverted normals, or normal map not set as type normal map or wrong format normal map
gaunt dock
@haughty dagger its multiple objects, let me send pics
they share same material
same texture
and here check how it acts when i move light
tried ton of lightning all same
i think issue easily fixable
but i have zero idea how lol
im noob yet
when i change material shader to baked lit, lights go away
even if i remove normal map from material,there is still lightning problem
wanton rune
Please take screenshots instead of photos
wanton rune
should i retake all? <@166982635950702592>
I would recommend that
Can't really tell what's a lighting issue and what's monitor glare
A screen recording showing the issue as well as the mesh renderer components, material assets and textures involved would be for the best
W11 has a built-in screen recorder in its snipping tool
Could also show how the pipe reacts to lighting when you remove the normal map from the materials entirely
gaunt dock
Sure will do that
im on W10 actually but yeah its ok, will do something for recording
gaunt dock
@wanton rune @haughty dagger here, as you can see there is some weird shadows and lightning at place where both parts meet
and this is pipe assets i used https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/3d/environments/industrial/pipe-constructor-186974
wanton rune
Only way I can explain it is the model is missing proper mesh normals, which can cause parts of a model to react to light illogically
If you disable shadow casting from the light and place some default meshes (like capsules) in the pipe that should indicate the problem is localized to the mesh
For fixing it you could enable automatic smoothing/normal generation in mesh import settings
Doesn't make a lot of sense why the mesh normals would be missing from an asset store model so I'm not confident, but it's not impossible
gaunt dock
sure, will try that
haughty dagger
I noticed that your mesh has shadows turned off. That could also cause issues as the light can penetratw through the mesh. Also, make sure the light layers are assigned properly. Can usually just select everything for quick prototyping.
And if your scene is mentioned to be dark, I'd get rid of any directional lights.
gaunt dock
yeah it meant to be dark, directional light is disabled
haughty dagger
Let me know if you want to jump on a discord call and you can share your screen. Unity lighting isn't at all user friendly.
This is what I recently did in HDRP and there was a lot that messed up the rendering originally.
gaunt dock
yeah sure that would be really helpful, i was thinking to give up honestly, tomorrow (24th feb) 9:00 UTC are you available? @haughty dagger
9:00 till 19:00 UTC im available
just tell me any hour your comfortable with
gaunt dock
Looking Nicee
wanton rune
I noticed that your mesh has shadows turned off. That could also cause issues as...
The issue we are seeing is with the shading of the material against a spot light
Not with the directional light, or light layers, or shadowcasting
gaunt dock
if im not wrong its same for all type of lights
but yeah, if brotank down to take a look tomorrow, we will be sure about whats the problem
maybe its all about asset itself
idk ngl
wanton rune
if im not wrong its same for all type of lights
That would be expected
I might've rather suggested enabling a directional light for getting another possibly more informative view of the shading issue
But also without cast shadows enabled, as they're a separate feature that conceals a part of the lighting and likely obfuscates the issue
Light layers can be used to selectively ignore lights, but they cannot change the appearance of received light
haughty dagger
9:00 till 19:00 UTC im available
Would 2pm UTC work for you. I am on East Standard Time. So that would be 9am my time.
gaunt dock
i will be ready in 30 mins
