LIGHTMAP_QUALITY#

Light baking quality preset.

Name	Description
LIGHTMAP_QUALITY_DRAFT = 0	Ultra baking quality. Provides the highest iterativity with the lowest sampling quality and number of rays.
LIGHTMAP_QUALITY_LOW = 1	Ultra baking quality. Provides low sampling quality and number of light rays.
LIGHTMAP_QUALITY_MEDIUM = 2	Ultra baking quality. Corresponds to stable quality level which is good for most cases.
LIGHTMAP_QUALITY_HIGH = 3	Ultra baking quality. Corresponds to high sampling quality and number of light rays simulated intended for release production.
LIGHTMAP_QUALITY_ULTRA = 4	Ultra baking quality. Might be useful to get rid of even small inconsistencies. Intended for the release production.

Arguments

• const Vector< Ptr<LightVoxelProbe> > & voxel_lights - List of voxel probes for which the process of light baking is to be performed. The order of nodes added for baking is not important.
• const Vector< Ptr<LightEnvironmentProbe> > & env_lights - List of environment probes for which the process of light baking is to be performed. The order of nodes added for baking is not important.
• const Vector< Ptr<Light> > & shadow_lights - List of light sources in static light mode for which the process of shadow baking is to be performed. The order of lights added for baking is not important.
• const Vector< Ptr<ObjectMeshStatic> > & objects - List of Mesh Static objects for which the process of lightmaps baking is to be performed.
• const Vector< int > & surfaces - List of surfaces of Mesh Static objects for which the process of lightmaps baking is to be performed.
  Notice

  The number of objects and surfaces added for baking must be equal.

void bakeAll ( bool voxel_probes = true, bool env_probes = true, bool shadow = true, bool lightmap = true ) #

Starts the process of light baking for all enabled voxel and environment probes, shadow baking for eanbled light sources in static light mode and lightmaps baking for enabled surfaces of Mesh Static objects in the scene.
