Hi there,

Is there a list of light map resolutions anywhere that goes higher than 512? as I’m not sure what the others are after that? e.g 32, 64,128, 256, 512 onwards?

Thanks!

… solved they are power of 2

You’re spot on. Using Power of Two values is key to setting Lightmap Resolutions, even though you can enter in non-power of two values.

The max resolution that a lightmap can be is either 2048 or 4096, but I can’t remember exactly which at the moment.

Regardless of the max size, it’s always good to keep your lightmap resolutions as low as possible. very few instances you where you would even consider going that high in value.

Can I ask how you keep the light map resolution down? Is it the spacing between the uv shells?
