Did you add “Blur Effect”? If so, then try removing it maybe. I had the same problem but when I removed my “Blur Effect” everything was normal.

Insert a SunRaysEffect property into the lighting service. Then you should get sun rays

I tested it wouthout blur effect already, does nothing.
I guess it’s the issue of the device

Hello xXIshakGamingXx,

The screenshot you have provided does not show any settings which limits the options,
for further help please provide us with screenshots of your lightning properties.
However, I will still give you some points on how you might fix it to get the result you need for your shadows, and it goes as following:

  • Click on Lightning and in properties there is Technology, make sure it’s set to shadows or Future.

  • Also make sure that Global shadows are turned on in the Lightning properties

  • Make sure your render quality in Studio Settings are up to 21, it’s usually on Auto.

  • Another thing that might cause shadows not appearing is the part itself but not have Shadows enabled, so it would be great if you check for that in it’s properties.

  • For the sunrays, you will have to make sure that the Sunrays Effect is under Lightning and is enabled, also make sure that the intensity is higher than 0, make sure to mess around it’s settings while you’re facing the sun but be careful because it might get too bright.

if you’re still facing issues then here are more options:

  • Re install roblox studio
  • Disable all plugins
  • Delete all lightning settings and set them up again manually
  • or test them in a new game and see if the issue is still there to find out if the issue is actually from your device.

After trying all these solutions I hope it works for you, and if it doesn’t please tell me so I can look further into this issue and find solutions for you.
Best of luck!

Make sure your render quality is up.

Go into studio settings, search edit quality, and set it to 21. If you are playtesting, set your graphics to max.

Disregard the above replies, they are incorrect.

Already happened, no effect…

I have found it out, its about on which device i’m on.
