First off you are gonna need lights. Point lights and stuff.
But even for indoor areas, it’s still really useful to have sky lights, directional lights and stuff. Get into that kind of things. You may not be seeing the sun but it gives some ambient light to your scene.
It shouldn’t matter whether they are outside or not, as long as they have some value applied to them. Default is ok and you can tinker on from there.
I’m not that much into level design though, so my call could be wrong. Maybe if you set sun and sky to movable?
Hello, thank you for your reply!
I have a directional light and a sky light in my scene, but they are both outside. Oh I don’t see the sun in the modes tab.
Select the mesh in the level > Details panel > search for use emissive for static lighting. Keep in mind that this alone wont be enough, just additional light.
Does that space have any windows at all? I can’t be sure if those blue sections are openings or emissive meshes. If there are no openings dir. light is going to be useless. If those blue sections are meshes with emissive material select them and enable Use Emissive for Static Lighting for additional light. You can also use just rectangular lights but you may also need to use a lighter color for the floor(while building the lights. you can switch back to its normal material afterwards) to get more bounces from lights.
Of course not. The reason i said rectangular light is because of its shape. You can align 3 rectengular lights to those emissive meshes and then set their dimensions accordingly. So, replace those spotlights with rect lights, delete the one you have there, and try again.
Btw, i have a feeling that soon you’ll ask about the red cross on stationary lights source… it’s because apparently right now there are more than 4 stationary lights overlapping. Stationary directional light counts as one and overlaps with all of the lights so keep that in mind as well.
It’s either the dir. light(if you still have one) bleeding into the room, or low lightmap resolution, or reflection problem. If it is reflection place a box reflection capture into the room that covers the interior and see if it helps.
Hello, I added a box reflection capture but I can’t seem to make it cover the whole interior (The stretch tool does not work and I don’t see any options to change it).
Add lights, and then try adding a sphere reflection capture. You can then edit the sphere to reflect all emitted light in the scene. It acts as a light scattering device and brightens up enclosed areas.
