Advanced Day Night Cycle

Hello,
I just wanted to ask about the moonlight. I created a blank third person blueprint project and added the cycle to it. I loaded the test level and tried it out (clicked Play, didn’t change any values), however the moonlight doesn’t appear to be creating any light. I’ve tried adjusting the intensity in the editor and regardless of whether I set it to say 9 or whether I set it 0 the lighting doesn’t change for me in game. When I set the setting in the editor the map instantly becomes washed out (if set as high as 9) but not once I click Play. I was expecting the map to be quite brghtly lit as though it were a full moon and my character illuminated since there’s nothing in between the character and the moon to prevent light reaching it.

Also I’ve attached a few odd graphics glitches I experienced at sunrise/sunset as well. After several loads they suddenly stopped happening so I have no idea why that was happening, but figured you might be interested - the third picture is strange banding that happens on the map at sunrise/sunset - after the other two glitches stopped happening this one remained and could well be (in fact they all could be) engine bugs - I admit it could also be GPU drivers but I’m up to date ont hose.

Thanks.

Sorry about the Moonlight confusion , you need to set it in the blueprint like this :

In the parameter where a factor of 0.05 is mentioned , you can set to whatever intensity you like , however that will only take effect if moon elevation is greater than 0. To further enhance the brightness of night , you can increase cubemap intensity in the construction script as shown below :

I am not experiencing any graphics glitches at any point of time in the entire 24 hour cycle. Maybe it has to do with your GPU ? Is it possible for you to try it out with a better GPU? Do you experience this glitch usually , I mean without using my pack ? You can test this by using the default skysphere and varying the sun height.
