The tool that does all that is Blender. The task is not exactly "mainstream", so there is not much support for it, but the ingredients are there.

#[https://vi-wer.de.tl/Lightmap-Tutorial.htm A tutorial for the "Lightmap UV Pack" script]. The good thing about this script is that it can batch-process several meshes at once. The bad thing is that for every mesh, it packs the UVs into a single texture, so for large or detailed meshes meshes either the lightmap will be pixellated, or you need to make the texture's resolution huge. | #[https://vi-wer.de.tl/Lightmap-Tutorial.htm A tutorial for the "Lightmap UV Pack" script].

#Some more scripts for the batch processing of many meshes (<nowiki>https://forum.unity3d.com/viewtopic.php?t=36467</nowiki>, dead link) (e.g. for saving the generated textures to files; neither of the above scripts save the baked lightmaps, and since there can be hundreds of them, automatic saving is badly needed). | #Some more scripts for the batch processing of many meshes (<nowiki>https://forum.unity3d.com/viewtopic.php?t=36467</nowiki>, dead link) (e.g. for saving the generated textures to files; neither of the above scripts save the baked lightmaps, and since there can be hundreds of them, automatic saving is badly needed). | ||
