This generally works and looks pretty, but it's quite shader intensive, which makes it not work on mobile or low end GPUs. Lightmapping is a very cheap operation, so it should run fine even on low end mobile. First of all, you need to make sure your meshes have an UV2 layer. How do I use it? Generating UV2 Layer.
