Need Lighting Suggestions

When it comes to building, I’m not the best builder in the world. I was going to try and create horror lighting, just to play around. And I’ll be honest…it looks horrible.


I didn’t really try to design a good scene, I just wanted to test lighting. I’ve tried the fog trick, and I’m a little stuck from there. If anyone has any tips they can give me to create better horror lighting, please tell me. Thank you!

(This is if you want to increase visibility.)

You can increase the fog end by some, as well as making the ambient to a dark grey color instead of black. Hopefully this helped! :slightly_smiling_face:

I recommend for horror lighting decrease the fog, also adjusting the appearance of the fog to more of a dark grey tint

I would recommend making it a bit more darker along with effects such as dust, smoke, or any small particles.

There’s many features when it comes to creating horror lighting, take a look at horror game lighting you would see they set a proper atmosphere featuring fog/mist - dark ambient - proper setting. The lighting can change depending on how your wanting the style to be.

Have you considered to tweak the atmosphere effect and lighting settings? Horror games feature a variety of ideas when it comes to accomplishing a good setting. It’s mainly just experiment instill you find a proper source tweaking the properties can result you into finding a setting that suits your liking;

I would play around with the properties it really depends on how your wanting the realism to go. You could include a PointLight in the middle and see what approach your wanting to accomplish with your little project.

Try changing the ambient to a black color and change the fog to a dark one and add blur and bloom

You can try to change the OutdoorAmbient to [0,0,0] aka Black, it’s going to be really dark but you can put the color you want anyway.
