Why do environmental lights run through my character ?

got it done. 4.26 for that matter. (still nice to work in. just looks alil different then 5.3.)

steps:

  • glass unlit so it receives no backlight. it is rendered without receiving shadows.
  • spotlight shadow bias gotta be lowered. so it does properly cast in the helmet. i downed it to .1 whithout messing up world shadow rendering.
  • i did seperate meshes for inside and outside. not sure what distance fields do.
  • the helmet needed a lil remodel. gotta avoid harsh edges or light will “bleed in”. basicly you gotta model a sphere. mathematical issue with the normals and specular, i reckon.

ambient lighting inside can be faked with skylight or whatever you wanna put in there.
unfortunately i dunno howto not have volumetric fog inside the helmet, rn.
