From 22caab0248071b2c7f852f302f30745d1c99e77d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: FlooferLand! <76737186+FlooferLand@users.noreply.github.com> Date: Mon, 11 Nov 2024 18:36:58 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] Add note about LightmapGI only baking nodes under its parent `LightmapGI`'s documentation currently doesn't mention the fact it only bakes nodes under its parent. This can make the user think there is something wrong with their scene setup or 3D models, as it refuses to bake when the user's models / world isn't under the same parent as the `LightmapGI`. --- doc/classes/LightmapGI.xml | 1 + 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+) diff --git a/doc/classes/LightmapGI.xml b/doc/classes/LightmapGI.xml index e7d44411efd..9bfaad4dd54 100644 --- a/doc/classes/LightmapGI.xml +++ b/doc/classes/LightmapGI.xml @@ -10,6 +10,7 @@ [b]Note:[/b] Due to how lightmaps work, most properties only have a visible effect once lightmaps are baked again.
