Focusing specifically on the hallway, I have 3 small spotlights that I am trying to create deep shadows and reflections from, but they are not working correctly. What did I set up incorrectly?
Note- For some reason, the site is not letting me upload my blender file so I will try to attach it in a response post or find another way…
Ambient occlusion is enabled in world settings, the lamps have way too little strength since filmic is enabled (500, 1000, 2000 are better values), lamps have a big size so it doesn’t show the light cones/shadows. Big lamp size needs higher strength, but could also do with less bounces in that case.
