    hello,
    i am working on a lightmap and have a problem that i can t fix. I am trying to lightmap my static elements which receive lights from one or two point lights and two directional lights. the result is ok but i can't obtain the intensity i want from the points lights. i ve changed a few things but nothing seems to work. May be someone will understand what i am doing wrong or missing ? I join screens of various intensities giving the same results and a screen showing the one i want ( right side, second screen ).

    It's hard to figure out what you're after here. You say you got 2 directional lights, various point lights and I see that you have a Skylight Intensity of 1 additionally. You also got Bounce Intensity cranked up to 3.

    I suggest using low settings to make quick renders first. Turn off all lights but one directional light first and then do quick renders - and continue adding/taking lights. Seems a bit of a mess at the moment.

    hello Thomas,
    thx for your answer. i did start with low settings, no bounce, only a directional, then only point lights but it seems dir and point together don t work well for me. it does lightmap but with poor point light intensity compared to no lightmapping ( like on the right side on screen 2 ).
    I tried multiple passes to obtain the result i want but no succes. if i can give other info i ll glady do.
    edit : i did not try to get rid of the sky intensity, may it be the cause of the problem ( why ) ?
