Question by The_Pro_Programmer · Dec 04, 2017 at 06:51 PM · unity 5lightingpassing

How to stop light passing through closed box?

Hello,My name is Abdullah and i am making this clone of minecraft (sort of) so it is nearly complete but one thing i noticed was no matter how deep i go or if i buried myself under the ground or go into underground caves the lighting would not get darker i tried it with other experiments like closing my FPSController in a box and seeing if the light passes through but still the light passes inside the closed box and it is fully lit any ideas on how this could be solved PS: i have not changed even one of the settings in the light inspector (it scares me alot).

Hello Abdullah, my name is Bucky. Try turning shadows on in your light source. And depending on your meshes you may need to change the shadow casting mode to two-sided. Hope this helps!

Answer by Remy_Unity · Dec 05, 2017 at 09:07 AM

This may be caused by the environment lighting (also named ambiant lighting), that affects any object, regardless if it's in a closed box or not.
Look at your lighting settings : https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/GlobalIllumination.html#Environment and try to put the environment lighting intensity to 0.
You should then have 100 black in closed areas.
