I’m more new to unity and I’m trying to learn how to use lighting. I’ve made a scene completely, but in all my scenes I seem to start out with a much brighter picture than anyone I can find. This is UDP with default settings and no lights (both in and out of buildings). Everything is very washed out and way, way too bright. What should I do to get my remove this?
That should be due to your skybox providing it’s “natural” light.
Go to the top tabs, window → rendering → lighting. Then open the second tab (“Environment”). Change either the skybox material, or playaround with the “environment lighting” stuff, especially the intensity multiplier.
Best luck!
