Unity 5.1 lighting

Hey all been posting after long here. So couple of things first the work is done purely as part of learning Unity lighting so assets are not mine. Well I cleaned some meshes and made some UV for light. Original scene is from Archinteriors vol4.

Only thing I would complain about is the lack of SSR (screen space reflections) in Unity.

As for blotchy / artifacts on meshes they are caused by auto lightmap UV in Unity. Tip if you have soft / curvy meshes its best to make your own lightmap UV (channel 2) in 3d program otherwise this will be a major issue.

Below images are unedited and without any camera effects inside Unity 5.1.

Please do share any tips / feedback on how to improve lighting for such environments.

P.S I did not use any texture to save uv unwrap time and focus on lighting.

 

Baked only setup



hmm actually love the option to soften shadows up in baked settings, I wonder why its not available during realtime GI in directional light.

 

Also realized first time posting my work and been a member since 2012

 

You can check this SSR solution: https://github.com/cCharkes/UnitySSR
Didn't use it yet, only bookmarked for future use. "linear color space and deferred rendering path" needed.

 

Nice work. Linear colour space and deferred are essentially mandatory once you get into heavy post fx and lighting though.

 

Thank you iluh and hippocoder.
