Converting scene with Unity 4 lightmaps to Unity 5?

Unity Engine

I’ve just about finished up converting my Unity 4.x project into Unity 5, but having a problem with lightmaps.

How can I use the lightmaps I created in Unity 4 on the scene in Unity 5? I don’t want to have to re-lightmap the whole thing, I just want to use the existing lightmaps I’ve already got working in 4.x since they took a long time to tweak and get exactly how I wanted them.

I’ve looked everywhere for info about this but haven’t found anything.

Well after researching some more it appears to be not possible to do. So, I’m now re-lightmapping my scene, waiting for it to finish. Wish me luck!

Good luck. With enlighten being so different, I don’t think it’s a trivial task, especially if you had a look you were happy with. Hope it goes well.

Thank you! Yeah it’s no fun having to change the look to accommodate the new lightmapping. Has to be done, though, if I want to update to U5. So far it’s looking ok. Still tweaking.

Ok, well I did it, twice, and boom. It worked. Looks great! Moving on… :slight_smile:
