Baked lights not showing in scene

Unity Engine
1

Hi guys,
I’m trying to add baked lighting to my 2D (RPG) game. I’ve followed several online tutorials but it just doesn’t work.
My last attempt:

  • Created a point light
  • Set it to Static
  • Set it to Baked
  • Create a sprite
  • Switch material to Sprite/Diffuse
  • Set the sprite to Static
  • Go to Lighting and bake the lighting
  • …no light is shown at all

Note that this is a completely empty, new project. I’m using Unity 2018.
Any advice? :confused:

In-case you haven’t figured this out already:

I watched a tutorial telling people to go to lighting settings and turn ON ‘baked global illumination’ under mixed lighting. I have found this to be opposite. If you turn it OFF(aka just uncheck ‘baked global illumination’, then it works. No idea why.

It’s great to try to help but please look at the dates of posts before replying and try not to necropost. The OP posted this over 6 years ago.

Thanks.
