Hi,
I’ve created a 3D scene in Blender in which I’ve baked the lighting in the vertices, and exported in gltf.
The scene looks ok with a gltf viewer, but the lighting doesn’t appear in Arkio (PC and Quest).
Is Arkio supporting lighting stored in vertices?
Thanks

Hi @ren072 - I’m afraid baking lighting in vertices isn’t supported at the moment. Have you tried baking the lighting into textures instead?

Yes, I’ve been through the process of lightmapping a scene, but sometimes it’s way easier to just store the lighting in the vertices.
No problem, I’ll continue to lightmap as usual.
Thanks
