Hello!
Some of you might be familiar with the following issue: You put some static lighting into your scene, build and then your shadows look like from an 8-bit game. Like this:
I’ve seen multiple threads about this problem, and in all cases the responses were “increase the lightmap”, sometimes it was “change the light to stationary”.
However:
This is my lightmap density for the same scene, the resolution is 1024*1024, and changing it to 2048 doesn’t improve the situation. 4096 causes the build to crash, because my memory is too low to handle it.
As for the second part, if I change the lighting to stationary, the surface upon which the shadow is cast is still static, it doesn’t change anything. I would have to change it to moveable, and considering how many lights I want to put into the scene, this would case severe performance issues most certainly.
These are my lightmass settings used in the above builds. I have tried indirect lighting quality settings between 1 and 4, stating lighting leveel between 0.25 and 1, smoothness between 1 and 4, and I’ve also tried all qualities from preview to production. Nothing gets rid of these shadow blocks. I’ve also started a new project with only starter content and built lighting with a “normal” point light, with similar results.
Anyone has any idea why?
