Question by dzz · Mar 01, 2017 at 07:24 AM · shaderlightingshaders

Lightning Question (shader, lightmap or blender UV issue?)

Hello,

I have the following scene

alt text

As you can see the ball in front of me has a very extreme shadow on it's back. How could I make it less extreme? I would like to still see the triangles that compose the Ico sphere but darker and without having to change the sun's position.

I tried to play with my light values, shader value, changed shaders, etc. but without any success. I guess I'm lacking some basic knowledges regarding lightning. Any help / tip would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks.

If you are using Unity 5 and above, you can increase the Ambient Intensity in the Lighting window.

Ambient is not a solution, because color will last consistent, you need a custom shader to variate colors based on normal.

Unity 5's ShadeSH9() ambient function calculates ambient based on normal in relation to the skybox, unless you specifically set it to a flat colour.

You may also decrease the intensity on your directional light.
