Layer based Ambient Lighting
Hi, I have a space scene in which I would like to add an ambient lighting.
Since it's on space, the outside should not be hit by any light except a directional light (that of the sun), so I can't use Unity's ambient light. For the interior, I can't use point lights since it would be insanely heavy, the spaceship is huge so I should place thousands of lights. I tried using GI and emission maps but it creates very little light, if I increase the emission it would make the bloom's glow even greater and would be very annoying.
What could I do? Create a shader that doesn't use ambient light and apply it to the exteriors or force myself to use GI or bake worsening performance?
Thank you very much!

I made a shader with "noambient" attribute since it was a single material.
