How do I lightmap? I have tried several tutorials but non of them work, is it because I have unity free, does it only work with unity pro?
Do you mean a baked lightmap?
If so here are a few checklist items:
- Create a light
- Create a terrain
- Create objects
Make sure each of those are “Static” in the inspector.
Select the items you want to have in the lightmap and goto Window->Lightmap and you should be able to bake. If nothing happens remember to check the Console output as it may explain why.
Dynamic lighting is pro only, Like say if you wanted a flashlight attached to your character to cast shadows then you would need to go pro. but baked lighting (lightmap) works for me, I found http://unity3d.com/support/documentation/Manual/LightmappingInDepth.html and http://unity3d.com/support/documentation/Manual/LightmappingCustomSettings.html to be very helpful You should give them a read.
