Oh my god, not only is this amazing. The amount of detail being absolutely perfect, but you even flipped between two different versions. Amaaazing!! Thank you so much!!
I knew all of this before I started to watch the video. But I just kept on watching, because you explain it in such a nice and easy way. Was a nice refresher.
Bc i think the explanation between all the different light modes are a bit confusing, here is a short explanation about the differences. But overall, it's a very good tutorial ! - Realtime : no lightmap, the direct shadows and the bounces are calculated in ... realtime. Consumes alot of GPU - Mixed : mix between baked and realtime : calculate the lights and bounces in the lightmap, but not the direct shadows which stay in realtime. - Baked : as in the tutorial. All the light data are in the lightmap, no more light needed.
Amazing video! Even though I'm using Bakery to handle lightmapping in Unity, this video helped me understand lightmap settings much better, which allowed me to improve my lightmaps significantly as well as reduce their file size (super important for mobile games). Thank you!
Amazing walk through of the new baker properties. Thank you so much for the video, it helped me figure out a ton about why my stuff was looking not so great in Unity.
Good tutorial! Unfortunatly I'm missing interaction between static and dynamic objects. Maybe you can add something like this to your To-Do list ;)? What I mean is: how will a dynamic object interact with a static, light-mapped object. For example: the soldier in your video running through the shadow of the house.
Could you explain simple to me, if I have a static house game object, which is suitable to be baked lighted, and a moving object (a car or a character) which is suitable just for real time lighting, which "light mode" should I use? "Mixed"? But am I sure this way, that the "static house" won't be lighted once again by the "realtime" light source ( I mean that real time component of the mixed mode)?
Any chance you can provide a tutorial for baking and using lightmaps for big scenes interior/exterior? How can i use different lighting setups and environment lighting in the same scene? More advanced stuff and real lifr scenarios pls. The basics are fine but its rarely the time that i bake a single house on a single plane with a single direcrional light source you know what i mean? Great turorial tho, thanks!
What a great video!!!!! My scene was already at 919 setPass calls and got it down to 213 with Baked indirect lighting!!! And using my gpu to bake them was a way better choice. My poor ryzen 5 took 4 hours last night 😥
This saved my scene, thank you! I wondered why props and characters models were overlit, and was googling a solution for several days. Switching to linear fixed the issue. So glad I accidentally found your comment. I wonder why Unity sets it to gamma by default...
Hello I have a dude about the light I export my model (house), in unity and when use any light inside ,sample one room the light is on, but this light pass from the edges wall and can see to the next room And the Sun (directional light) this one pass the windows ok but the sun reflection on the floors looks like don't have Walls the house what recommend to fix this thank you
Hi, I did the same steps, but I keep getting the following error when I start baking. Please advice. [PathTracer] Failed to add geometry for mesh 'Cube'; mesh is missing required attribute(s). Please make sure the mesh contains at least positions, normals and texcoord0
Hello, can I ask something? I have a script that allow the player to turn on and off a lamps, but if I use a lightmap when I turn off the lamp, the light from the lamp are still there because of the lightmap. so is it possible to use that script with a lightmaps?
Hi,UGuruz, This is the most helpful lightmapping tutorial i've ever seen. finally I find one tutorial I can follow. and no need to guess what's the parameters mean. only I question: You mentioned in this video, Unity can use 2nd UV set to bake? how to do that? I know Unreal can does that, but I searched on forum,still can not find a way to use my own UVset to bake lightmap. Or is that a silly idea? Thank you for this awsome tutorial. very practical
If you create a second UV map for your object in your 3d software like blender,max maya then Unity will automatically choose that 2nd map for light baking. And you will also need to disable the "Generate Light map Uvs' Option in import settings.
@@UGuruz Oh I see! Didn't expect such fast answer! seems Unity combine all the objects UV together, I didn't realize it use my 2nd UV already! Thank you for saving my whole day!!!! I am learn the Unity Series tutorials，these are gold mine.If I can follow will buy your tutorials for sure :)
This tutorial is incredible, simple and effective, I have only one question, when i made my lightbacking, it looks fine without materials, but when I apply materials to my objects and redo the lightbaking, seems like the material cover the lightmap, it's really flat and nothing changes with or without lightmap, what's the problem with my case?
The first thing i would check is, if it's a shader issue. Did you try it with the standard PBR shader? Lightmaps only work on LIT shaders that sample that lightmap. A few of the shaders you can buy, especially stylized (toon, anime, etc) don't have that implemented.
@@sealsharp Thank yo for your answer, I'll found the problem, i put the materials on the prefab instead of the single objects. I have another question, what is the set pass calls limit for a mobile game for oculus quest 2 standalone? Or there is some documentation on limitations? Thank you
@@AlessandroNardi_DA The answer isn't that simple. Not passes, not batches, not vertex-count and not any other single thing can be given a number. There's much more happening on the GPU than just drawing whats sent to it. GPUs do have an internal queue of processes and steps and so the limiting factor depends on many different aspects. The Quest 2's own GPU is an Ardeno (or something like that) and like many mobile GPUs, it does tile based rendering which has different performance behavior than desktop GPUs.
Perfect! Thx u so much. I need to update my Unity 5 big project 500kmx500km and this video was helpful. I'm lost, slower HDRP 2020 or stay with Unity default in 2019 LTS with lots of assets store assets...
Nice video! Just a question: if I'm making a horror vr videogame, the scenario is only inside a house so, the only illuminations will be some spotlights but the player can handle a torch that with a dynamic light that will affect the scene illumination...which kind of settings should i use?

As always cool video fro Unity Guruz. Best explanation tutorials ever ;-)
Glad it was helpful!
I love ur Videos ! Thanks :)
Thanks for watching!
After baking the light map, the shadow is very black, there is no sense of ventilation, how to solve it?
Thank you this video is very helpful
You're welcome
DON'T FORGET TO CHANGE COLOR SPACE TO LINEAR IF YOU USE URP. THIS WILL PREVENT YOUR SCENE TO BE TOO LIGHT OR DARK.
Great Tip!
Even if you're not using URP, it improves the lighting a lot in the built-in render pipeline as well.
This saved my scene, thank you! I wondered why props and characters models were overlit, and was googling a solution for several days. Switching to linear fixed the issue. So glad I accidentally found your comment. I wonder why Unity sets it to gamma by default...
@@SolidAlloy2 No clue lol. By now you'd think they would have some nicer quality presets
