Good day all, hoping some Godot pros can help me with some lighting issues I'm struggling to fix in Godot 3.5. I'm trying to setup lightmaps + probes + cubemaps style lighting. Super basic stuff, the kinda stuff the industry already nailed all the way back in the early 2000s with like Half Life 2 or something. But no matter what I did I just could never get it to look right.
Out of frustration I made a completely separate test project so that I could isolate exactly what was wrong with the lighting. The test project is here: https://github.com/Jamsers/GodotLightingTest, and the reference project that I used for comparison is a Unity 2021.3 URP project found here: https://github.com/Jamsers/UnityLightingTest.
Long story short, there seems to be 2 issues making the lighting look wrong: there's a severe discrepancy between the lighting of dynamic objects and baked static objects, and the skybox seems to leak through the reflections applied by reflection probes.

Can a Godot pro check out the GodotLightingTest project and make sure I'm not doing anything wrong with regards to how I set up the lighting? I'm hoping I've just set it up wrong and it's not a problem with Godot, but I've scoured the documentation and tried a whole lotta things and I just can't fix those 2 major issues. ☹️
