So I've been following a tutorial for baking lightmaps in Godot 4 and it's just not working for me. I think I followed all the instructions correctly, but when when I go to bake my lightmaps, there seems to be no bounced light at all.
It's possible the tutorial is out of date since it was made before the 4.0 release. How can I get my bake to work?
The tutorial:
I don't see any shadows? Do you have shadows enabled on the directional light? You might also want to add a sky to the world environment as a lot of the indirect lighting works better with an environment.
Shadows are enabled. And the world has a Physical sky material. Also, the block on the top right has an emissive material on it which should be casting a white light downwards.
This is what the final should look like according to the tutorial, but I can't get it to do that:
kitfox Looks like LightmapGI only works in Forward+ mode.
Performance: LightmapGI provides the best possible run-time performance for global illumination. It is suitable for low-end hardware including integrated graphics and mobile devices.
But:
Note: Due to how lightmaps work, most properties only have a visible effect once lightmaps are baked again.
Remember that compatibility renderer and webGL support are officially 4.1+ targets and still in development. It would be unreasonable to expect everything to work as if it was finalized on this end in 4.0.x.
Compatibility mode basically doesn't work. I guess they released it to get bug reports, but it's not usable.
