Unity中的光照探针系统2.1 反射探针配置反射探针(Reflection Probe)是Unity实现IBL的核心组件// 动态创建反射探针的代码示例 void CreateReflectionProbe() { GameObject probeObj new GameObject(IBL_ReflectionProbe); ReflectionProbe probe probeObj.AddComponentReflectionProbe(); probe.mode ReflectionProbeMode.Realtime; probe.refreshMode ReflectionProbeRefreshMode.ViaScripting; probe.resolution 256; probe.hdr true; probe.shadowDistance 20; }最佳实践参数配置Type根据场景选择Baked静态场景Realtime动态场景Time Slicing大型场景建议启用Box Projection室内场景必备2.2 光照探针组设置光照探针组(Light Probe Group)用于捕捉场景中的间接光照在场景中均匀分布探针点避免在阴影区域密集放置动态物体需要覆盖其移动路径// 自动生成光照探针网格 void GenerateLightProbes(Vector3 areaSize, int probesPerAxis) { LightProbeGroup probeGroup gameObject.AddComponentLightProbeGroup(); ListVector3 positions new ListVector3(); float stepX areaSize.x / (probesPerAxis - 1); float stepY areaSize.y / (probesPerAxis - 1); float stepZ areaSize.z / (probesPerAxis - 1); for (int x 0; x probesPerAxis; x) { for (int y 0; y probesPerAxis; y) { for (int z 0; z probesPerAxis; z) { positions.Add(new Vector3( x * stepX - areaSize.x/2, y * stepY - areaSize.y/2, z * stepZ - areaSize.z/2)); } } } probeGroup.probePositions positions.ToArray();
