[Solved] Light Probes result in dark areas

Hello friends

I'm having a troubling problem. I have an outside area with some light probes, and using them results in some troubling problems:


Mesh with light probes enabled


Mesh with light probes disabled

This looks like the same problem as here and here

I've tried setting the ambient mode allll the way up, but of course that does not work.

Thoughts?

I spent hours trying to fix this, and of course I figure it out right as I write a post.

The problem was I had some probes underground, so it was blending between very dark and the normal level of bright.

Whooops

Since I have an open world, and the world is split into chunks (sub scene), I tried setting a big ol matrix of light probes as a prefab and automatically stuck them into each sub scene. Turns out that was a mistake.

However, I did find an amazing script:

It automatically generates light probes by looking at the navmesh. It's beautiful and should be coveted by all. <3
