Hi everyone!
I’m quite new to the engine, so I’m probably missing something easy. Hopefully you’ll be able to guide me to a solution.
Problem: I’m trying to light a low-poly cave with simple torches. However, there’s no way I can get it right.
The static mesh that creates the cave is split in several parts, each with a 1024 px resolution lightmap. This resolution should work fine, as I have similar sized meshes on the outside with 512 px lightmaps that work just fine. Moreover, when I use the lightmap density viewmode, everything has a good light blue/green color, so I suppose that’s ok.
The point lights placed on the torches are set to stationary and you can find their settings in the screenshots below.
As you can see in the image provided, the shadows look good when close to the light source, but then rapidly become horrible. Maybe it’s some kind of problem with indirect lighting? I have no clue.
Any kind of insight is extremely appreciated. Thank you in advance to anyone willing to help!
