How to use APV and Sky Occlusion?

Unity Engine
, ,
1

Tried to follow this, but nothing happens.
(or takes too long to bake whole scene.. even with minimal settings)
6000.0.73f1 + URP 17.0.4:

Questions:

  • To be able to enable Lighmapper “Progressive GPU”, it requires baking lightmaps also?
  • So, Can i use APV/Sky occlusion without baking whole scene lightmaps?
  • Do i need to have some specific sky / skybox settings?

just would like to test this

APVs can only be baked with the GPU, but does not require that you bake any traditional lightmaps. It’s admittedly a little confusing how some lighting settings that affect APVs live in the “lightmapping” section of the lighting window.

A couple quick things to check if you’re not getting results: are your lights set to mixed or baked (not realtime) mode, and are your static mesh renderers set to “probes” for GI source with “contribute GI” checked? Also the analysis → rendering debugger has a dedicated tab for APVs where you can visualize the probes & lots of info about them.

Ok, looks like Light is required for this to work? I was using just a skybox..

current setup

  • In New Universal Render Pipeline Asset, enable Lighting/Light Probe System/Adaptive Probe Volumes
  • Add Adaptive Probe Volume component to empty gameobject
  • Lighting tab, enable Baked global illumination
  • Lighting tab/Scene, select Lightmapper/Progressive GPU
  • Add or set your light(s) as Baked or Mixed
  • Lighting tab/Scene, disable Baked global illumination
  • Lighting tab/APV/ adjust probe placement (lower is higher quality.. but 0.1 is minimum still blocky?)
  • Press Generate lighting

Issues

  • Sky Occlusion doesnt seem to do any different to image..
  • Lights display this warning, if lightmap gi baking is disabled..?
