    So I have two cubes in the scene, the first one is non-static and the other one is static.

    I go to Lighting and set Environment lighting to 'Color' and play with the ambient color : everything works fine.

    The problem is when I bake the scene by clicking "Generate Lighting" -> The non static cube works fine, as it can receive light from realtime light sources AND the Environment lighting's ambient color... but the static cube though doesn't respond at all to the environment lighting anymore. It gets realtime light + baked light but no environment light.

    Is there a way to have static object that can receive baked light and environment lighting at the same time ?

    Hello,

    do you mean that the static object doesn't respond to changes to the environment lighting after baking ? In that case it is intended since baked lighting store the value of environment lighting in the lightmap, you would have to bake again to see the changes of environment lighting on your static object.

    If not that sounds like a bug that you can report https://unity3d.com/unity/qa/bug-reporting
