Is there a way to change the color of mobile dynamic shadows?
I change the world’s ambient color but it is ignored on my android device and the shadows stay pure black. The mobile preview doesn’t even show the shadows.
Hello SONB,
Instead of changing the worlds settings a very useful visual tool for rendering and effects is a Post Process Volume. You can search for this in the “Modes” tab within the editor. By default there is a Post Process Volume (PPV) in your level whenever you load a "Default’ level scene. To find this, go to your “Scene Outliner” in the editor, located in the top right by default. Type the word “Global” and you should see it pop up. Click on this to get the "Details’ tab to show all of the cool settings you can change for your scene.
The great thing about these volumes is they are very tweakable and contain a lot of powerful visual utilities to affect your entire level, or even just a single mesh, by using the Bound or Unbound option. With the "Details’ panel open in your editor for the PPV click on the drop down labeled film. Be sure to expand the entire section to view all the options, which include “Tint Shadow.” In order for you shadows to tint correctly you need to enable, Tint Shadow, Tint Blend, and Tint Shadow Amount.
I have posted some images to help you see the differences between Unbound being checked versus unchecked.
**Notice the bounding box and the unchanged shadows being outside of the volume **
**Notice how the tint color changed when I entered the volume **
Thank you and I hope this helped.
Thanks a lot for this in-depth answer, Andrew! It works great!
You are quite welcome!
