So it works now!
If you have Bakery, can you try getting the latest github patch and using it?
Add "Bakery Light Filter" component to an object to make it act like stained glass 😋
(video from RTPreview for fanciness, but it looks the same when baked)

Hi, thanks! :)
All your shaders need to do is here: geom.io/bakery/wiki/...
... I didn't mention ZWrite Off, as it's "obvious", but yeah... good point - will add it to the docs now.

Bakery is on sale again?? A summer sale they say?

Questionable UI, but Decalery now allows you to project receiver's UV1 (for the normal map) to the decal, while moving original decal's UV1 to UV3 (for color/gloss/etc maps).
Basically cheap forward-rendered normal-mapped decals.

But the basic idea is:
- Build a lookat matrix that defines leg bending space, aimed at target
- Use the law of cosines to figure out knee angle knowing thigh->target distance
- Use this angle to find out knee point
- Rotate thigh to this point and knee to target
- Build a lookat matrix that defines leg bending space, aimed at target
- Use the law of cosines to figure out knee angle knowing thigh->target distance
- Use this angle to find out knee point
- Rotate thigh to this point and knee to target

Basic trigonometric IK, but it's satisfying when it finally works.
Previously I wrote an overly complicated position-based solver, but it was buggy and wasn't worth it 🥲

Added de-ringing option to L2 light probes. Unlike Unity's "remove ringing" checkbox, this one is actually a slider you can tweak to remove less/more. At max value it gets almost close to L1, but seems to fix ringing/negative values completely.
Oh, I also made L2 work for APV.

Benefits over Legacy are: it's faster; it's more consistent (everything happens within the lightmapper, no engine rendering involved).

So previously Bakery had 2 light probe baking modes: L1 and Legacy (=L2 but via convolving in-engine rendered cubemaps). L1 was 1st-class citizen, since it also works for dense 3D texture volumes (no way anyone's reading 9 textures).
Well, now L2 is finally a "native" mode too.
