How can I bake shadows onto terrain from directional light?
I'm using deferred rendering, and want to bake my shadows onto the terrain. The problem is the shadows only show up if I have realtime shadows set on.
I have trees in the scene and I want their shadows to be baked onto the terrain. For example, in a normal bake if I did this, then moved the directional light, the shadows would dissapear, because they are baked, not real time.
How do you bake a directional lights shadows without using realtime shadows? Realtime shadows are causing a big artifacting problem on big terrain so I want to just bake without realtime.
You can set the lightmapping mode for the light component manually: That way you can separate the dynamic lights, and those that are used only for baking.
Also, remember to check Lightmapping windows Object tab for more advanced control. If you are trying to get soft shadows for trees, remember to set shadow sampler and shadow angle values.
I hope this helps.
