20,825 PointsHi Collin,
In the recent version they made Dynamic.GI.UpdateMaterials obsolete. I will post the new method, but I highly recommend you let Unity throw the error, and see if you can figure out the new solution from what it says.
At the end of the Update() function:
Basically, they changed the way updates to Global Illumination are performed in this more recent version of Unity. Now it's a method attached to each Renderer component (which we stored in "rend" in our code) instead of the Dynamic.GI class. This is super cool, actually, as it makes coding it a cinch and the code is now portable; you could apply this script to any Renderer as a component and it will correctly update its own GI materials without further changes needed to the code.
