Problems with Lightmapping in Unity 5

Hi all!
I'm having this problem with my lightmaps in Unity 5. I keep getting this speckled result with some passim black spots and highlights. The realtime shadows looks much better. Why can't it get a similar result with the baked maps? Or preferably better?
I remember I used to have resembling problems with Unity 4 as well. But it's all different now...

Here's a link for some referring results:

I'm very thankful for every response!

 

I never had those issues using Soft Shadows. I guess hard shadows would require hi-res lightmaps to be good-looking.

 

I have issues like this too, and I agree, the realtime shadows always look better and are less error-prone. I'm not sure what's going on here, but it's very frustrating.

 

It's funny. I get the same result with hard shadows too... The problem now, doesn't seem to be the direct shadow by its self. But the shadings from surfaces with very sharp or blunt angles towards the source of the light. It always gets really grainy, or spot like. The pixel value doesn't seem to uniform. I can can try to raise the Baked Resolution... but the problem remains. Only with higher resolution.

II'm starting to suspect some sort of graphical error. Perhaps software or even hardware failure?

I solved some of my problems by going to the model's import settings and having Unity generate UVs.

 

You mean by clicking the check box in the import settings?
That's what I have been doing all the time.Though the same model doesn't behave in the same way. Maybe the UVs are failing when duplicating the identical import in the scene with different shadings?... Never heard of this problem before.
It seem pretty odd.

 

Hi Psyminator,

Lightmapping is conceptually quite simple but can be a little frustrating when applying this in practice. Please refer to these tutorials and let me know if anything is unclear.

Best of luck!

 

Thanks for your answer, Tindovdk!

Yeah, it looks very easy for certain. Being used to render in both Maya, 3DS Max, Mentalray, VRay, DeltaGen and so on the settings aren't that complicated. I know of all the terms since before. But just won't get it right...
I used the first Sassybot Lightmapping in Unity 5 tutorial when I put up those pictures in my referent link above.
