This may seem like a simple question but…
How do you make a level completely pitch black. I want to put a level in my game that you navigate purely by torch light. But even if my scene has no directional light it’s dark but not pitch black.
How do i achieve this?
Set the ambient light to black.
Try changing the ambient light color to all black. It’s under Edit->Render Settings. (http://unity3d.com/support/documentation/Components/class-RenderSettings.html)
You then should be able to use a point or spot light as the torch. Good Luck.
Or instead you could set all materials to greyish, don’t set to black because then the light could not anyways light up the place
