Swapping Scene Lightmap Bakes At Runtime? (Day/Night)
« on: May 16, 2018, 08:02:15 PM »
If I bake my scene using two different lightmap setups, as two different light map sets (not even sure if that's possible?) it'd be great to be able to load the different lightmap sets into an array as prefabs or something, then switch between them at runtime, like to switch between day and nighttime lighting in the city.

Is that possible?

Hi.
i believe that Unity stores lightmaps per-scene.

So you might want to duplicate the scene and make a light map for each.

If you use load scene async you could split things up so that you only need to load parts of the scene (where lightmap is used)

Maybe this can get you in the right direction :
