    My environment

    Windows 10 Pro, i7, 32MB Ram, Nvidia Geforce 1060 with 6 GB Vram.
    Unity 2020.x (LTS).

    The template "HD Sample Auto Showroom" ships with most LTS versions since 2019.x.

    Baking never completes for all the scenes. Showroom etc. I filed a bug and "Unity QA" asked me to update Windows, Dell, Nvidia Drivers. I did so.

    Uninstalled "GeForce Experience".

    Even tried running as "Administrator" (per Unity QA's suggestion).

    Still this scene never completes baking. Thankfully I can build even when it is baking and I can see the really fantastic graphics. But for someone trying to learn HDRP it's sad to see the "template" not working properly.

    My laptop is not a super gaming laptop. Probably mid-range.

    "Unity QA" sent me an updated "parameter" list for the GPU Lightmapper. (attached). This enabled this template to finish baking. (4 hours +). Thx "Unity QA".


    For someone trying to learn Unity HDRP this has been an un-pleasant experience. It's Unity's template. A flagship project that Unity "touts" in it's blogs etc. It should work seamlessly. It should have a proper tutorial and documentation.

    Hope Unity can fix this.

    Unreal 5 is getting far superior reviews wrt Graphics. If Unity has to be competetive, I hope they focus on such "basics" to begin with.

    Regards
