When is Mixed mode lighting going to be fixed?

That's completely different unity version. Unity 5 was released in 2015, IIRC.

 

Yeah i know, which is why i use long time ago. What i mean is, it can be done and wondering why unity not just add static shadow baking system for light components.
Even though yeah i admit i'm still not sure how to handle shadow atlas packing system,large scene and multiple light type.

 

This would be great specially for mobile games, this sort of plugin could be done i think.

 

It's interesting to note how many light probes they use. Up until recently, I didn't realize you could get away with using that many of them. There must be at least 1000 of them in the screenshot they show.
Also, due to so many light probes placed high up from the ground, I suspect they have limited the usage of Lightmap static objects for the scene, otherwise the light probes wouldn't be needed that high up above the ground. (I think)

 

i think lightprobe is cheap and it safe to use high amount of probe for mobile

 

nah you should simply read the docs to realise probes can't be ordered in a grid.

 

You're saying the number of and/or location of the lightprobes they used was because they placed the probes in a grid pattern?

 

So, it's been like, uh, 13 months since I started this thread, and 5.4 is now out! yay!



It's still broken. I suspect Unity would garner a lot more goodwill if they actually weighed on threads like this a bit more, even if it's just "yeah, wow, it's broken, we know, we're fixing it."

Quite how broken something has to be to take well over 18 months to fix is beyond me...

 

When i see Unreal 4 coming 4.13 release , it shows the benefits of an open source engine with all people contributing and many people helping to fix bugs instead of waiting two years

 

....
Unreal 4 is not an opensource engine. "OpenSource" has a very specific meaning attached to it, so it is best not to use this term in conjunction with unreal 4, otherwise people will get confused.

 

Finally we'll get fast pre computed GI rendering with correct lightening on moving objects, this will be a great performance increase instead of using real time lights.

 

The response is appreciated as much as the work itself is. Thank you.

 

Any ETA?

 

It is beta tested, so after adressing major issues, it should be available in the next days i think or perhaps next week.

 

Closed beta testing usually means its months away from official release and probably not even in 5.4.x?

 

Yeah this is mostly what i'm worried about

 

Yeah, my thoughts, pretty much. I'd be expecting 6..8 months from now or so, unless superpig or someone else from unity say otherwise.

 

Wow .. . . now we're talking.
Heading to experimental thread. .

 

Responded in experimental thread.

 

Finally mixed mode for maximum performance

 

Hey, I'm aware this is an aging thread, but is there any news on this fix being in a main build? I'm running 5.5 and have just encountered this issue.

 

Hah! I was trying to avoid jumping up a version but if this fixes that issue I guess I'll have to.
