How do I remove these reflections/blooms

Hi there,

How do I remove these reflections on the wall it appears to be reflecting from the white area in the pink floor?

Roughness for both materials on wall and floor is set to 1.0 yet the wall is still taking on a pink hue from the floor texture too, how do I stop this?

This is bounced light from global illumination. As you noticed, the magenta color is also bouncing off the wall. To get rid of it, disable Lumen/GI. However this will make the lighting less realistic. This behavior is more physically accurate than if it did not bounce, even for rough surfaces.

You can also make the surface less white, so less light reflects off of it. You can also control the strength of the indirect light bounce on a per light basis, although this reduces the accuracy of the light simulation.

i think you can change the gi contribution on the meshes. i agree though that as is, is more realistic.

switching off lumen has fixed the original issue but what I’m seeing now is key areas of the game are way over darkened such as these pillars and after fiddling with the material, ie its emissive quality or using spotlights to improve light doesn’t seem to fix it?

Is there an easy fix to make the pillar look blue again?

is the sun coming straight down? that is the to be expected illumination without gi. to get an ambient shade without lumen you have to use a skylight.

After rebuilding the lights its fixed the issue but now I have another one, the left side of the wall is another shade to the right.

Right:

Left:

I have a skylight and a directional light in the exact same place (centre of the map and both pointing straight down to the floor, 180 degrees)

I’m very lost, sadly
