Sharing maps is a technique that let us share a single light map or SSS map on multiple objects.<\/p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_2,1_2″ _builder_version=”4.20.2″ _module_preset=”default” width=”100%” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” disabled_on=”on|on|on” disabled=”on” sticky_enabled=”0″][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.20.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.20.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]

To start with shared light maps, first build the light map of the object if that object has SSS, build SSS as well.<\/p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.20.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_image src=”http:\/\/cgelementary.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Untitled-1-1.jpg” title_text=”Untitled-1″ _builder_version=”4.20.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.20.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]

The rubber duck have built light map and SSS.<\/p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.20.2″ _module_preset=”default” width=”100%” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” disabled_on=”on|on|on” disabled=”on” sticky_enabled=”0″][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.20.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.20.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]

After that, make a copy of the object by pressing “Ctrl + D” and move it (make sure before duplicating it turns smooth preview off by pressing 1 on keyboard)<\/p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”http:\/\/cgelementary.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Duplicate-1.jpg” title_text=”Duplicate” _builder_version=”4.20.2″ _module_preset=”default” width=”53.5%” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.20.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]

Now first select copied object and then original object with baked light map.<\/p>\n

Open light baking window and press   \"\"<\/a>  then select Share light map, by doing so the object now uses original object light map.<\/p>\n

For sharing SSS Do exact same things but after pressing   \"\"<\/a>   select Share SSS.<\/p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”http:\/\/cgelementary.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/TeoDuck.jpg” title_text=”TeoDuck” _builder_version=”4.20.2″ _module_preset=”default” width=”56.5%” custom_margin=”|||360px||” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.20.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]

After Sharing light maps if you check Chanel box there is an attribute called lock build  \"\"<\/a>  this will not allow X-Ray to build this object when you bake the scene<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

hint* : you can bypass all of this by setting a shortcut for duplicating object with light map in hotkey editor\"\"<\/a><\/p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":491,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","template":"","knowledgebase_cat":[132],"class_list":["post-5143","knowledgebase","type-knowledgebase","status-publish","hentry","knowledgebase_cat-basics"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/cgelementary.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/knowledgebase\/5143","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/cgelementary.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/knowledgebase"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/cgelementary.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/knowledgebase"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cgelementary.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/491"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cgelementary.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=5143"}],"version-history":[{"count":8,"href":"https:\/\/cgelementary.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/knowledgebase\/5143\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":5508,"href":"https:\/\/cgelementary.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/knowledgebase\/5143\/revisions\/5508"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/cgelementary.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=5143"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"knowledgebase_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cgelementary.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fknowledgebase_cat&post=5143"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
