    I'm trying to lightmap a scene I'm working on (no real-time lighting at all) and I've been struggling with pixelated shadows. My Directional Light casts Hard Shadows and when I bake the quality is very bad..

    What parameters should I adjust to fix this?

    I have tried to bake my scene with different Lightmap Parameters (even the Default-High Resolution looks like this).

    I have tried increasing the Lightmap Resolution to 80 - no difference at all - should I crank it up even more to get good shadows?

    Currently trying to bake the lighting again with these settings:

    Indirect Resolution: 10
    Lightmap Resolution: 100
    Lightmap Size: 4096
    AO: Yes

    Lightmap Parameters: Default-High Resolution.

    It might take 1-2 days to finish thou ;(
