So I’m pretty sour on Autodesk, have actually migrated out of Maya and 3DS to Modo…
BUT, there updates to BEAST look pretty good. http://area.autodesk.com/2014unfold/products/gameware.html#beast
As you know Unity uses beast. These new beast features integrated into Unity would be pretty damn awesome. The live update is pretty amazing workflow for lightmaps.
I also really hope unity opens up beast so you can configure every setting in it. Also I’m hoping unity will put in a means for you bake using a linear workflow, even on iOS, not render in realtime in linear, just have it so your lightmaps can be baked in linear lighting.
