    Hi! Very new to baked lighting in Unity, and I was wondering if there was a tried and true way to fix a lightmap issue like this. I am having Unity generate the lightmaps. Additionally, I am using Enlighten.

    If not, how would I go about troubleshooting this problem?

    This looks like a lightmap UV issue. You would either have to tweak Generate Lightmap UVs settings in the mesh importer settings, or author lightmap UVs yourself.

    As a general rule, you should not lightmap small props like these at all, and instead use light probes to light them. This will result in much faster bakes and you won't need to worry about lightmap UVs either.

    Is there a particular reason why you are using Enlighten? I would suggest giving Progressive lightmapper a shot, as it is much easier to use and provides with superior results.

    Thanks for the tip! Light probes are new to me. I was using enlighten because it takes a lot less time to bake, as I only have the one machine to work on!
