    Hey Reanimate_L,

    this is a planned feature for 2019.3. Currently, probes cannot be loaded additively like scenes. The workflow is to additively load all scenes in the Editor and bake them together. The combined Light Probes are then referenced by all the scenes involved, so loading any subset of of these scenes (or all of them together) will automatically load all probes.

    Cheers

    Hi, what about shifting the game world? light probes stop working when I shift the game world with floating origin script! is that fixed too?

    No, since that is technically not a bug. We could make an API that allows you to move the entire world, which is an exceptional case to allow the probes to be moved with it. I'll note it for consideration on our roadmap. Thanks!

    Awesome thanks. Just please make it to work with default render pipeline too.

    I have updated Ghat-Smith's Script to work in Unity 2018, it required marking assets as dirty and forcing a database save.
    Good Luck

    I've come up with a solution to this issue if anyone is still interested. Which I assume is the case because its still not fixed.

    Each scene can be baked individually and it doesn't require a master scene with all the probes in it to work, which would help out anyone that has scenes that can't fit into memory at once.

    Once I get home from vacation I'll post a video of it working.

    Here is a quick video showing the solution we came up with for our current project. It shows light probes working across scenes that were loaded asynchronously.

    @FiveFingerStudios Hello, have you posted your solution anywhere? Does your solution allow for moving the geometry of the scenes before baking (think randomly generated level)?

    I haven’t posted it yet, still finishing up my game, once I get some free time after the release I will be able to do a write up.

    My solution is currently relies on Unity’s light mapping to be executed As long as that requirement is met, I don’t see a problem with it.
