I am a beginner and I am currently enjoying the tutorials. I just got done building and putting together the two buildings with the table and the 2 chairs and the couch in the second building. I wanted to make the scene completely dark to where the point lights inside the building and outside the building are the only light visible along with reflections and shadows. I’ve gone to world setting and lowered the environment lightmass to 0 and tried messing with the directional light, sky,and fog and can’t for the life of me find out how to do it. Any help is greatly appreciated! Thanks in return.
Hi JokerJenkins,
If you want an entirely dark scene, you’ll need to do some of the following:
- World Setting > Lightmass > Environment Color > Change this to the default black.
- SkyLight > Set intensity to 0 or a very low value like 0.15
- If you rotate the sun to be below the landscape or the horizon line you’ll need to set it’s intensity to 0.
If you’re ultimately wanting to do a time of day kind of setup with fully dynamic lighting and no baked lighting you can check out this project here that I made using a users tutorial as a starting point: [TUTORIALS] Photons Be Free: Mini-tutorials and other curiosities - Community & Industry Discussion - Epic Developer Community Forums
I hope this helps.
