Lightbaking not working properly?

So I've been working on this level a lot lately and everything has been going fine besides one thing, the light bake. When all the lights are on the scene looks fine, the lighting looks fine, but once I light bake it the shadows (especially on the palm trees) become super dark and big. Also the entire scene starts to look a lot darker. I've checked all the models, all are static and all have the light bake option on. All the lights are on and set to baked as well.
I've also put all the light-bake settings on, here are some screenshots:

Before:


After:

See how the shadows also look very weird?

 

Hey @Lisspeed98,

Unfortunately your attachments are not showing up, I get "You do not have permission to view this page or perform this action.".
Could you please check in the incognito mode in your browser? Then you can edit the post, reupload the attachments and recheck in incognito.

@Kuba Hey, I fixed the images now, they should be able to show up!

 

Thanks!

The overall darkness of the result is most likely caused by a limited range that is available when using lightmaps on mobile. Please see the dLDR description in here: https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/Lightmaps-TechnicalInformation.html.
One way to circumvent this would be to lower the intensity of the light and raise the albedo values of your textures.

As for the black parts on the palms, they are most likely caused by incorrect lightmapping UVs. Please check out https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/LightingGiUvs-GeneratingLightmappingUVs.html to resolve your issue.

Cheers,
Kuba

 

@Kuba Hey, I managed to fix the colours which is a good thing but even after looking at the explanation for the black edges I still can't seem to fix it. If only it seems that, the more I play around with the Hard Angle and Pack Margin options, the worse I make it. It seems to become more apparent at other parts of the level as well, like the barrels, pillars, bridges and other things for example. I tried to put the Pack Margin on the highest possible number but that doesn't seem to help much either. Any ideas?

 

@kristijonas_unity Ahh alright, I think it's very much possible that this is the case, but what is the best way to fix this then? I'm sorry, I'm relatively new to Unity and while I can manage to do a lot already, this is still a bit difficult for me.
So if I were to Author them myself in a 3D package, how do I do this?
