    Hi all, I have a significant difference between baking before and after. Below are screenshots of before and after lighting and settings for all lights, including reflections.No post processing. Built in render piepline, mobile project.

    Baked lights do not have realtime specular response. That's why most materials will appear "flat", regardless if they have normal and smoothness maps assigned. This is an unfortunate side-effect of using baked lights.

    If you want to have better specular and normal response, switch to mixed lights instead.
