    We are considering hiding or reducing the logging from the progressive lightmapper to the editor log file. Please vote above.

    See https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/LogFiles.html for more detail.

    The logging looks like this today:
    Code (CSharp):
    1. [PathTracer] Issuing lightmap composite job for a not converged lightmap; index: 0, lightmapCompositeHash: 091d5949b612071ae0af847478be9536, lightmapHash: 31cb38ee0baa01204508a9837d71ec39, renderPassHash: fb4a7d7175d4408dccff756d0c54173c, compositingHash: 1d487f44446618cc512895975474672e.
    2. [PathTracer] Issuing a render job for lightmap 31cb38ee0baa01204508a9837d71ec39, visible texels: 20754, Timestamps: [356.260].
    3. [PathTracer] Issuing a convergence job for lightmap 31cb38ee0baa01204508a9837d71ec39.

    Another thing to consider is that some of those messages are sent directly from the native code to the console without passing through the ILogger interface like all other debug messages.
    At least the message about scene objects with "overlapping UV" and a couple others related to baking have that issue.

    This makes impossible to capture/remove them using a custom logger when implementing an editor tool.
