Game not getting dark

[lament lichen]

so basically I'm making a gtag horror copy and I'm trying to make the map dark with HDR but when I turn it black it only makes some buildings in the background dark. Iv looked though so many tuts I want everything dark how can I fix this? I've been at it for hours

[distant geyser]

if you have a directinal light you want to get rid of that

then in the lighting tab > envoirement choose a color , you want black

you can then also delete the skybox or replace with a dark themed one

this should actually be it

[lament lichen]

Ok I'm going to try this right now

I'll tell you if it doesn't work

[distant geyser]

fine

[lament lichen]

ambient color is black but my game is not black

[distant geyser]

can you show a screenshot

of the lighting tab too

[distant geyser]

remove the skybox too

[lament lichen]

i did now

[distant geyser]

check the game though game view not scene

[lament lichen]

ok

its still light

[distant geyser]

how comes, that is actually not possible. show a screenshow of the game view please

[distant geyser]

ok this looks like an interior this is different

[lament lichen]

no the outside is light aswell

you can see it though that gap

[distant geyser]

then i really dont know this is actually not possible, i assuem you got some emiisive materials there that ignore lighting

[lament lichen]

damn

so what shound i do?

[distant geyser]

edit the materials / shaders

[lament lichen]

on assets?

im very new to unity

[distant geyser]

yeah i suggest you learn the unity basics. this wont work.

and dont use hdrp use urp instead

start a new urp project and test things out with the default 3d objects, and use the methods i named to achieve the lighting you want

[lament lichen]

Thank you. I I'm pretty sure that map You cannot turn dark. I'm going to change the map out

It just seems like you're using an unlit shader. Since it doesn't care about lighting , it wouldn't get brighter or darker.

[lament lichen]

Oh

[pastel turtle]

Materials have a shader which determines how the object with the material reacts to lighting (or if it does)
Meaning light components in the scene, and the scene's environmental lighting settings (and scene's baked GI, if any)
https://docs.unity3d.com/6000.0/Documentation/Manual/LightingOverview.html

How do I change that shader?

[pastel turtle]

Meshes have a material, and that material specifies a shader
Which shaders you should and can use depends on what render pipeline your project uses
