No mipmapping with HDR lightmaps

colinfizgig opened this issue · 0 comments

Describe the bug
When using HDR lightmaps, mipmapping gets turned off on the material (probably lack of Pemrem support?) This causes flicker in VR and rough crunchy textures at a distance on desktop.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
You can go into this scene which has samples of both types of lightmaps labelled and see the difference. If you look at the HDR versions from a distance you should see noisy textures on PC and flickering on VR. If you look at the 8 bit lightmaps from the HDR side you'll notice bleeding of the color swatches as mipmaps show up. You won't see this on the HDR side.

Expected behavior
Assuming it is possible to setup mipmaps for the HDR texture those should be generated at runtime so that flickering in VR does not occur. Here is an example of how that is done in Three.js. https://threejs.org/examples/webgl_materials_envmaps_hdr.html
