Question I have lights in my VRChat world but there is an issue where they disappear when looking in certain directions how can I fix this.

[@gaba023]

Just getting into lighting. So one of the biggest things I learned here is that lightprobes are not lights. I had thought you needed so many lightprobes to give an even lighting in the space. Now I know they are virtual reference objects to calculate the light around that point in space to be applied to dynamic objects.

🙂 good video :)

nyaaaww :3 thank you!

Here are the ingredients for light baking : mandatory : 50MB ~ 80MB of Mesh data for 16 to 24 servings as the main bater 25~50 teaspoons of point lights for the main flavor 10~20 spot lights for texture optional : 10mg of light prob groups, sprinkled 4 ~6 reflection prob as the main topping set Oven/GPU/CPU to 350deg, this will take 10min~3hrs depend on your hardware

[@VirtuaLilly]

I'M IN LOVE WITH THIS xD

[@xr_xharprazoraxtra5428]

OwO@@VirtuaLilly

[@Kzimagamer]

Ok, I baked lights and reflections, tested my world and everything was great but when I uploaded it to vrchat there were just unbaked lights

[@VirtuaLilly]

really? hmm The usual suspects are down to making sure everything is set to static, and that the "light" component is set to "EditorOnly" (next to layers at the top) it could be that you might need the Bakery adapter too (i haven't needed to use this yet so i'm unsure) Always check the VRWorldtoolkit for errors too (part of the curated list in the creator companion) github.com/z3y/UdonBakeryAdapter/

[@Kzimagamer]

@@VirtuaLilly I fixed this, problem was with udon. Anyways thank you

[@Kzimagamer]

@@VirtuaLilly Oh and do you know what to do with vrsl? Just let it be and bake or I need to do something special?

[@VirtuaLilly]

@@Kzimagamer VRSL is an ENTIRELY different bag of potatoes, which I'll try to get in to in a seperate video if anything. but they're moving and non static objects (otherwise they break) so they shouldn't be involved in the bake unless you're doing some very weird shader wizardry
