    I'm experimenting with baked lights and emissive materials and for some reason, this sphere that I haven't modified at all has these weird grooves after generating lighting. Anyone got an explanation/fix for this??

    The image isn't showing.

    But the default sphere's lightmap UVs aren't super good unless you have quite high resolution light maps otherwise the seams can become easily visible due to not having enough padding.
