First post and first proper build completed, I am enjoying the ease of low poly to help me grow in my building techniques in skills. Since I cannot upload Images here is the link to the showcase, the vine is climbable.
I know its dark I dont really know lighting that well.
Also, let me know if I have done something wrong within the showcase and this post.
Thanks,

Yeah, it’s really dark for me. So much so I can’t even really see anything. I jumped off that first ledge and it was so dark I couldn’t figure out how to get back up to look at the temple. Maybe just change the time of day in the Lighting settings for now just so we can see it.
Thanks for trying, unsure if time of day will affect it as it is midday and the sun is overhead the hole, should I widen the hole or try something else?
Maybe you could add a large BasePart near the top of the cave and give it a surface light on the bottom face. Again, this would be just a quick fix for now so we can see the build.
Ill try that soon, I just gotta sleep first since its midnight. My PC must have had a higher gamma setting or something. Ill get back to you when i fix it
turns out the last game I linked was an old version and it didn’t update. Try this
It’s still extremely dark but I really like the look of the temple, especially with that moonbeam or whatever it is you have highlighting it. Nice effect.
Introduce a mounted torch near the vine to lead players towards it. I’d really like to see the volume of the cave, but the pitch darkness hides your hard work; mounting torches sparsely on the rock walls will only increase the suspense, not dissipate it like you might think, and if you want to maintain or even increase that effect while your at it I’d increase the contrast with ColorCorrectionEffect | Documentation - Roblox Creator Hub
and to complement the beauty you’re probably going for, with a little more realism make the sun smaller
and add SunRaysEffect | Documentation - Roblox Creator Hub to make the best of the natural sky light.
Sun can made more realistic, and go with your building ability and not overwhelm everything using SunAngularSize, found under Sky in Lighting. If there isn’t a sky, you have to insert a skybox. I’d find a evening one to use, personally. Skyboxes | Documentation - Roblox Creator Hub
From what I could see, it was really good, just, you need to show more of it.
Also, since you said you don’t really know lighting, there’s an easy-to-follow tutorial on Roblox that shows you how to make a wall-mounted torch that may be just the look you are going for: https://education.roblox.com/en-us/resources/adding-a-light-source
God damn it it is my PC, I tried it on my laptop and it is pitch black. Im sorry
I must be doing something wrong, I added torches in the water leading to the vine but for some reason it didnt update. Ill just restart the lighting as the colour isn’t natural. Thank you for those guides I will be using them.
No problem. Actually that is a good reminder for all of us to test our games on multiple devices
