how can I make a DARK LIGHT, dimmer, shadow subtractor, light absorber, Ue4-5
not lumen
I’m trying to show you what effect I want to achieve.
The goal is to use light (shadow subtractor) instead of complex GI
by arranging them by level, create the illusion of Gi
My ideas-
create a Channel 2 refresh layer and get Channel 2 in PPM and subtract it from the scene
make an add-on over the render
Thank you all

Yes, I know, I’ve tried, but that’s not what I need, the lamp is shining with a shadow here, I need to darken the shadow.,
here’s a comparison
1-negative light
2-what I need
Thanks for trying, thank you

disable the shadows. tweak the color to neutralize the tint and exposure. radius limited and intensity down. gotta do a lil art to get this to work. it’s fairly small but you can change height or find a better ies texture. what you’d probably need is a flat grey texture with lil exposure.
lil bigger, but obviously has larger range and hard exposure on walls.

Ehh, for some reason it doesn’t work, I don’t use Lumen
and it doesn’t affect the shadow for me.

maybe you’re setting up something other than what’s in the screenshot details

Everything is working now. The thing was, I had the wrong SkyLight.
