Title: Tilemap mesh needs normals for unity 5.6
Post by: JackMariani on April 04, 2017, 04:44:44 pm

I've just updated unity version to 5.6 and I keep receiving the following message from the console.

"Mesh doesn't have normals. Please create some for GI."

I'm using a tile map and if I delete it from the scene the message stops.

Still this message keeps repeating indefinitely without any stop so I can't use the console properly.

I would ask you to give it a look.

Thank you very much!

PS: it is probably unrelated but my tilemap keeps creating empty gameobject called "Prefabs" when I load the scene.

Hi there,

Trying to figure out why this is, I cant reproduce it - are you using dynamic lighting or a lit shader on the tilemap? If so, make sure generate normals is ticked in the sprite collection and rebuild (edit & commit), that will generate the normals its complaining about.

If you're not using lighting, the other thing you could do is disable lighting in the unity lighting window.

Thanks! Disabling global illumination worked just fine.
