    Thanks for the response, but that didn't help. I tried turning off backface culling, too. Those are my settings. Maybe you can spot a problem?! LightSettings.png ObjectSetting.png

    Check the last option on the material "Double Sided Global Illumination".

    What am I doing wrong, because I can not bake.

    The denoising step is failing, perhaps you are running out of memory? You might be able to get more info from the editor log file... If you disable indirect and AO denoising the error should go away but you will get more noisy light maps.

    Should I use walls with some thickness or with zero thickness when baking with PLM so that I remove the possibility of light leak? What about Enlighten?

    There should be no light leaks even when using planes, providing that lightmap resolution is sufficient, and filtering settings are not too aggressive. Make sure to enable double sided GI in the material properties to avoid invalid texels on the back-facing side.

    For 2023.1 the team have been focused on our objective to build a solid foundation for the future of light baking, so that we can deliver more robust solutions for the features on our Global Illumination Roadmap.

    If you haven't already and are able to, take a look at this roadmap and provide us with your feedback on our plans. This additional context really helps us shape the things we add to future releases.

    Can we use it in runtime?
    Sry, that's stupid question. It shouldn't. I was just curious about the use case of directly output to GPU, how would that help? just for previewing stuff?
