Black ambient light not completely black?

Unity Engine

I’m trying to set the ambient light for a scene to completely black, but it looks like the per-pixel shadows insist on keeping some amount of ambient light (see image). The dark side of the tree is pitch-black, but the shadow is not. Any way to get around this?

Set shadow strength to 1.0 in the light settings (default is 0.8, IIRC).

Thanks! Did the trick :slight_smile:

Edit: Just out of curiousity - any reason this shadow strength should not affect the dark side of objects?
