How to have shadows without brightness / what is happening here?

[youbigown]

I’m trying to make a cylinder around the player (2 unions). That is done, however you can see that the brightness on each side is different. Turning down brightness to 0 causes it to be equally bright, however this causes there to be no shadows in the game. So at the moment it’s either no shadows, or a form of lighting that doesn’t look good for the eyes or the mind. I think it’s the sun that is causing this, but changing timeofday doesn’t do much. Is it possible to make this light equal on both sides without cutting shadows out of the game?

side 1

side2 (much brighter in-game)

not a perfect solution, but it does help a lot

How can I make certain parts unaffected by lighting?

one technique would be making the object neon and turning down bloom but that would change objects that are affected

additionally: to make the neon less bright

In need of help on how to change the Intensity/brightness of a Neon Material Part

You can try adding the ‘bloom’ feature. (For lighting) Or you could try making the neon part darker. (Such as moving the color from 255,255,255 to 100,100,100)
