Hi all,
I have this animation I’ve been working on, and I was wondering how I could make the shadows a bit darker. Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance!
Hi,
it seems the white environment is responsible for lighting your scene so evenly. Tone it down, make it a grey or replace it with an HDRI. If you want to keep the background white you can always separate the camera rays (light path node).
Another method that can help (in the case where the shadow pass might be useless) is to render out the separate passes for direct lighting, indirect lighting, and color (this will allow you to manually control the intensity of the indirect lighting).
turn down the default 1.0 AO shading under the word menu
