Point light not reflecting off plane

Unity Engine
1

Hi all,

Can anyone help me figure out why my point light is reflecting off all other objects except for the plane?

I’m trying to create a campfire effect so the ground should be lit up too but it doesn’t. I’ve played around with the light and plane settings and have had no success.

This is the basic scene

This is the inspector panel for the plane

This is inspector panel for the light

I’ve tried placing cubes and other objects around the light and it reflects off them just fine so I’m completely stumped as to why it won’t reflect off the plane

thanks,.

It seems that your objects are lit by vertex instead of by pixel. In that mode it is common those kind of issues if an object, like your plane, has few vertices. Try changing the Render Mode of your light to Important. This should enable per-pixel lighting and everything should look nicer.

Thank you bro, this actually fixed my issue lol, I thought I had to make a whole new scene or something
