Directional Light Leak

[rexdefuror]

Hello everyone,

I created lightning that I needed for this scene as well as some shadow detection for directional light, and it all works fine. Unfortunately, on some places (where directional light illuminates ground under my enclosed space) when player stands on those places he gets illuminated as well.

Sorry if this was posted previously, however I couldn’t find my issue on the forums thus this cry for help.

He’s still detected in shadow, and this enclosed area should be almost completely in the dark. I’ve tried various things. I’ve also tried baking the global illumination but then this enclosed area gets illuminated completely probably due to settings assuming this surface should reflect light so well, which I don’t want it to.

These are my current settings.

Hi

It’s a bit hard to understand how the scene is constructed from just one screenshot. But have you looked into using an unlit shader for the character? If you don’t want any light bouncing, that might be way of fixing it.

Can you also post your scene view debug mode called “Shadow cascades” ?

Thanks for taking the time to help!

Here’s more about the scene, it is quite simple. Entire enclosed area is constructed out of 7 cubes (with Lit material), they intersect quite heavily, I’ve made sure to check that part several times.

Sorry I couldn’t find where to set the debug mode for shadow cascades in URP (looked here Unity - Manual: Shadow Cascades but on luck). Here are my URP settings in general.

Go to the scene view and the top left corner there is a dropdown. Check for the debug view there and post it here
