adding to a precalculated Irradiance Map

I have created a Light Cache file and an Irradiance Map for a walkthrough and I have used those file to test the animation at various frames. I have found that I need more detail so if I chose to create additional irradiance maps and add it to the original map that I created, would I use Incremental Add to Current Map and save over the original map?

I think that this is the method but I havent had any luck.

Only way that I’ve been able to combine is to create 2 irradiance maps - Map1 and then later a separate Map2 featuring the additional frames and then use the Irrad Map viewer to merge them.

ANyone help?

Can you explain your steps for using the “incremental add” method? It works fine from what I’ve tested, but maybe you are doind something different.
