Is there a way to look up light probe data for a mesh at runtime?

If I have an object using light probes, is there a way to get the data associated with whatever probes are affecting that object at any given point during runtime?

For example, if I wanted to check to see if a character were standing in a shadowy area, is there some way of checking if (lightprobe.light/color.value < someThreshold), or something similar?

 

Same here.

Anything new about this? I'm surprised this data is not exposed as this usage seems obvious.

 

Have you tried the GetInterpolatedProbe method?
That will give you the probe data used for that mesh at that position, then you just need to evaluate it for some direction and get a color.

Code (csharp):

1.  
2.  public Color GetProbeColor( Vector3 pos )
3.  {
4.     Rendering.SphericalHarmonicsL2 probe;
5.     LightmapSettings.LightProbes.GetInterpolatedProbe(pos, null, out probe);
6.      
7.      
8.     Vector3[] directions = new Vector3[] { new Vector3(0.0f, 1.0f, 0.0f) };
9.     Color[] results = new Color[1];
10.     probe.Evaluate(directions, results)
11.      
12.     return results[0];
13.  }
14.  

 

That looks promissing. I have a team member checking it out.

Thanks Inter-Illusion.

 

It's done and works really well.
