    Does anyone know how to use Enlighten with the LoD system? As it stands, when I try to bake lighting for the LoD models their shadows go completely black. Are these two systems incompatible?

    I'd imagine that each lod stage would need baking separately. But for now you could make it so that only the closest lod has gi and the other lods aren't set to gi static, but instead receive light probe contribution instead. This doesn't help of course if you're baking lightmaps.

    Waiting to hear on what Unity staff say.

    Thanks, I'd forgotten about light probes. That's an adequate solution for me, but it would certainly be nice to have Enlighten bake LoDs properly.
