workflow for lightmaps in substance designer

[loopon]

hi,

i loaded my sbsar into ue4.6 and was shocked:
no working lighting at all 

so the people the ue-forum told me, that i have to build an lightmap for every static mesh.

that was the second shock (because there are lots of meshes).

now, here are my questions:
1)is this the right workflow for maya-build-meshes:
- take the mesh in the maya uv-editor and create an extra lightmap-channel for the mesh
- export the mesh as an fbx
- import the mesh into ue 4.6
- apply the substance to the static mesh

2) how can i apply an lightmap to my substance (made in substance designer as an pbr/metallic rougness). Or comes the lightmap directly with the fbx-file into ue4.6?

thank you very much for an answer!

Lightmaps will be built automatically by UE4 when you build your lighting as long as you have a secondary unique UV on your meshes.

hi Jeremie Noguer,

Hi, if you also use blender (i don't know how it works in maya), you can select all your meshes and add them to a texture atlas groupe, and the generate a shared lightmap with only few clicks. Hope it helps
