Enumerations
------------

.. _enum_BakedLightmap_BakeQuality:

enum **BakeQuality**:

- **BAKE_QUALITY_LOW** = **0** --- Lowest bake quality mode. Fastest to calculate.

- **BAKE_QUALITY_MEDIUM** = **1** --- Default bake quality mode.

- **BAKE_QUALITY_HIGH** = **2** --- Highest bake quality mode. Takes longer to calculate.

.. _enum_BakedLightmap_BakeError:

enum **BakeError**:

- **BAKE_ERROR_OK** = **0**

- **BAKE_ERROR_NO_SAVE_PATH** = **1**

- **BAKE_ERROR_NO_MESHES** = **2**

- **BAKE_ERROR_CANT_CREATE_IMAGE** = **3**

- **BAKE_ERROR_USER_ABORTED** = **4**

.. _enum_BakedLightmap_BakeMode:

enum **BakeMode**:

- **BAKE_MODE_CONE_TRACE** = **0** --- Less precise but faster bake mode.

- **BAKE_MODE_RAY_TRACE** = **1** --- More precise bake mode but can take considerably longer to bake.

Description
-----------

Baked lightmaps are an alternative workflow for adding indirect (or baked) lighting to a scene. Unlike the :ref:`GIProbe<class_GIProbe>` approach, baked lightmaps work fine on low-end PCs and mobile devices as they consume almost no resources in run-time.

Property Descriptions
---------------------

.. _class_BakedLightmap_bake_cell_size:

- :ref:`float<class_float>` **bake_cell_size**

+----------+---------------------------+
| *Setter* | set_bake_cell_size(value) |
+----------+---------------------------+
| *Getter* | get_bake_cell_size()      |
+----------+---------------------------+

Grid subdivision size for lightmapper calculation. Default value of ``0.25`` will work for most cases. Increase for better lighting on small details or if your scene is very large.

.. _class_BakedLightmap_bake_energy:

- :ref:`float<class_float>` **bake_energy**

+----------+-------------------+
| *Setter* | set_energy(value) |
+----------+-------------------+
| *Getter* | get_energy()      |
+----------+-------------------+

.. _class_BakedLightmap_bake_extents:

- :ref:`Vector3<class_Vector3>` **bake_extents**

+----------+--------------------+
| *Setter* | set_extents(value) |
+----------+--------------------+
| *Getter* | get_extents()      |
+----------+--------------------+

Size of affected area.

.. _class_BakedLightmap_bake_hdr:

- :ref:`bool<class_bool>` **bake_hdr**

+----------+----------------+
| *Setter* | set_hdr(value) |
+----------+----------------+
| *Getter* | is_hdr()       |
+----------+----------------+

If ``true`` lightmap can capture light values greater than ``1.0``. Turning this off will result in a smaller lightmap. Default value:``false``.

.. _class_BakedLightmap_bake_mode:

- :ref:`BakeMode<enum_BakedLightmap_BakeMode>` **bake_mode**

+----------+----------------------+
| *Setter* | set_bake_mode(value) |
+----------+----------------------+
| *Getter* | get_bake_mode()      |
+----------+----------------------+

Lightmapping mode. See :ref:`BakeMode<enum_@GlobalScope_BakeMode>`.

.. _class_BakedLightmap_bake_propagation:

- :ref:`float<class_float>` **bake_propagation**

+----------+------------------------+
| *Setter* | set_propagation(value) |
+----------+------------------------+
| *Getter* | get_propagation()      |
+----------+------------------------+

.. _class_BakedLightmap_bake_quality:

- :ref:`BakeQuality<enum_BakedLightmap_BakeQuality>` **bake_quality**

+----------+-------------------------+
| *Setter* | set_bake_quality(value) |
+----------+-------------------------+
| *Getter* | get_bake_quality()      |
+----------+-------------------------+

Three quality modes are available. Higher quality requires more rendering time. See :ref:`BakeQuality<enum_@GlobalScope_BakeQuality>`.

.. _class_BakedLightmap_capture_cell_size:

- :ref:`float<class_float>` **capture_cell_size**

+----------+------------------------------+
| *Setter* | set_capture_cell_size(value) |
+----------+------------------------------+
| *Getter* | get_capture_cell_size()      |
+----------+------------------------------+

Grid size used for real-time capture information on dynamic objects. Cannot be larger than :ref:`bake_cell_size<class_BakedLightmap_bake_cell_size>`.

.. _class_BakedLightmap_image_path:

- :ref:`String<class_String>` **image_path**

+----------+-----------------------+
| *Setter* | set_image_path(value) |
+----------+-----------------------+
| *Getter* | get_image_path()      |
+----------+-----------------------+

Location where lightmaps will be saved.

.. _class_BakedLightmap_light_data:

- :ref:`BakedLightmapData<class_BakedLightmapData>` **light_data**

+----------+-----------------------+
| *Setter* | set_light_data(value) |
+----------+-----------------------+
| *Getter* | get_light_data()      |
+----------+-----------------------+

The calculated light data.
