Hello,

I have a skylight and a directional light in my scene. Everything worked perfect but after closing and reopening my scene me skylight isnt working anymore. My shadows are really dark and everything looks bad and weird (the light). I tried to rebuild my light and placed a new skylight but its still not working.

How can i fix this?

Things I would check:

  1. maybe you accidentally deleted your skysphere
  2. maybe you scaled the sphere and it’s now smaller than the sky distance threshold
  3. maybe you touched the sky distance threshold
  4. maybe you changed the source type to a cubemap, but didn’t specify a cubemap
  5. maybe you set the mobility to moveable

Hope something helps, if you need further explanation for all of these, don’t hesitate to ask again :slight_smile:

Adding a Lightmass Importance Volume fixed it for me.
