Broken Static Batching with Lightmaps

Hi,

I have very large scene with around 50 batches ( saved bacthing 100-200 ), lots of atlassed single material objects.

When I bake lights, I have 2 light-maps, however batching count jumps 50 to 250 ? What could be the reason and how can I fix this ?

 

Hey @MoribitoMT, did you get it fixed? I am using UNity 2019.1.0b2 and have the same issue. Currently trying to circumvent this by using Instanced materials, but they are inferior to static batching in my game :/

Edit might be silly, but people - make sure you are in play mode! Static batching only works in play mode

 

You have 2 options

1. Produce 1 lightmap, work with every single object mesh renderer lightmap scale. Some could be 1 some could be 2 some 0.1. Some even 0, so they wont be in lightmap, some small objects maybe

2. Produce 2 or more lightmaps, however create 2-3 more lightmap settings instead default settings, every lightmap will have their own index. Then assign these settings carefully to each objects, assume you have 2 islands, all objects in island one uses setting 1, other island objects use other setting. This gives ability to choose which object goes to which lightmap. Then, when you travel in island one all objects will be in same lightmap, no extra batching..

I used first solution 1 lightmap with different scaled objects. My ground and floor lightmap scales are 2, rest changes 0 to 0.5

 

@MoribitoMT you are right, I simply increased my light baking atlas size

In this article unity explain how to fix it, almost same as you explained
