    Hello!

    Been trying out the new progressive lightmapper, and so far been really happy with its results. However, I've noticed that when baking at higher lightmap settings, progressive lightmapper produces strange square artifacts in random spots. When debugging, they only appear in the Directionality view. Any idea what could be causing this? I'm currently on Unity 2017.2. Thank you in advance!

    If you have an area light in the scene, that's likely the cause. Change it to a very wide spot.

    Strangely enough, reducing the amount of direct/indirect samples, and unchecking "Prioritize View' seems to have fixed the problem.
