Shadow artifacts when using the Lightmaps to generate Lighting
Reproduction steps:
- Open the attached project
- Enable the “Auto Generate” setting in the Lighting window (Window > Rendering > Lighting)
- Observe the shadows under the “Tree_CherryBlossom” GameObject in the Game View
Expected result: No artifacts are seen and the lightmap is correctly generated
Actual result: Artifacts under the tree are seen
Reproducible with: 2020.3.37f1, 2021.3.7f1, 2022.1.11f1, 2022.2.0b3, 2023.1.0a4
Reproducible on: Windows 10 (21H2)
Note: Setting the “Filtering” setting to “None” or playing around with the “Indirect Samples” and the “Environment Samples” settings in the Lighting Settings Asset can reduce the artifacts but they do not disappear
