Austin Unity User Group: Lightmap Balancing in Unity

Talk Description:
Join Chase Shields, Lead Technical Artist on Walkabout Mini Golf, for a practical deep-dive into Unity’s baked lighting workflow. We’ll cover the full lighting process we use across 30+ unique VR courses — from initial lightmap UV setup and resolution balancing to keeping memory and bake times under control on Quest. Perfect for technical artists, lighting artists, and indie devs looking to level up their Unity lighting game.
