    Probe Volumes panel properties

    This page explains the properties in the Probe Volumes panel in Lighting settings. To open the panel, from the main menu select Window > Rendering > Lighting > Probe Volumes.

    Baking

    To open Baking Set properties, either select the Baking Set asset in the Project window, or from the main menu select Window > Rendering > Lighting > Probe Volumes tab.

    Baking

    Property Description
    Baking Mode
    Single Scene Use only the active scene to calculate the lighting data in Probe Volumes.
    Baking Set Use the scenes in this Baking Set to calculate the lighting data in Probe Volumes.
    Current Baking Set The current Baking Set asset.
    Scenes in Baking Set Lists the scenes in the current Baking Set.
    Status: Indicates whether the scene is loaded.
    Bake: When enabled, URP generates lighting for this scene.
    Use + and - to add or remove a scene from the active Baking Set.
    Use the two-line icon to the left of each scene to drag the scene up or down in the list.

    Probe Placement

    Property Description
    Probe Positions
    Min Probe Spacing The minimum distance between probes, in meters. Refer to Configure the size and density of Probe Volumes for more information.
    Max Probe Spacing The maximum distance between probes, in meters. Refer to Configure the size and density of Probe Volumes for more information.
    Renderer Filter Settings
    Layer Mask Specify the Layers URP considers when it generates probe positions. Select a Layer to enable or disable it.
    Min Renderer Size The smallest Renderer size URP considers when it places probes.

    Probe Invalidity Settings

    Property Description
    Probe Dilation Settings
    Enable Dilation When enabled, URP replaces data in invalid probes with data from nearby valid probes. Enabled by default. Refer to Fix issues with Probe Volumes.
    Search Radius Determine how far from an invalid probe URP searches for valid neighbors. Higher values include more distant probes that might be in different lighting conditions than the invalid probe, resulting in unwanted behaviors such as light leaks.
    Validity Threshold Set the ratio of backfaces a probe samples before URP considers it invalid. Higher values mean URP is more likely to mark a probe invalid.
    Dilation Iterations Set the number of times Unity repeats the dilation calculation. This increases the spread of dilation effect, but increases the time URP needs to calculate probe lighting.
    Squared Distance Weighting Enable weighing the contribution of neighbouring probes by squared distance, rather than linear distance. Probes that are closer to invalid probes will contribute more to the lighting data.
    Virtual Offset Settings
    Enable Virtual Offset Enable URP moving the capture point of invalid probes into a valid area. Refer to Fix issues with Probe Volumes.
    Search Distance Multiplier Set the length of the sampling ray URP uses to search for valid probe positions. High values might cause unwanted results, such as probe capture points pushing through neighboring geometry.
    Geometry Bias Set how far URP pushes a probe's capture point out of geometry after one of its sampling rays hits geometry.
    Ray Origin bias Set the distance between a probe's center and the point URP uses as the origin of each sampling ray. High values might cause unwanted results, such as rays missing nearby occluding geometry.
    Layer Mask Specify which layers URP includes in collision calculations for [Virtual Offset](probevolumes-fixissues.md).
    Refresh Virtual Offset Debug Re-run the virtual offset simulation to preview updated results, without affecting baked data.

    Probe Volume Disk Usage

    Property Description
    Scenario Size Indicates how much space on disk is used by the baked Light Probe data.
    Baking Set Size Indicates how much space on disk is used by all the baked Light Probe data for the currently selected Baking Set.
