Summary

Now that you’ve set up real-time lighting in your outdoor scene, you’re ready to set up the second type of lighting for your project: baked lighting. When you’ve implemented this and made some adjustments to the lighting configuration throughout your scene, you’ll have covered the basics of lighting an outside space!
By the end of this tutorial, you'll be able to:
Configure light sources appropriately so that they can be baked.
Create a new Lighting Settings asset.
Explain why any changes to the baked lighting require an update to the lightmap.
Customize lightmap properties for your scene.
