the saber on the left is what im askinng about for simplicity. i want the green to light up the wall and floor but also be (overwhelmed, shadowed? not sure of the right word. by the light from the door way. but maybe light up the wall and the dark side of the jedi’s body (removed for censoring reasons)
i have attatched a shot of my node set up. ive tried multipule light paths. the door arch is a chrome material and the dark wall surrounding it is just a glossy with some roughness
Set the emission of the lightsaber higher than 1. A value of 1 will have no effect on the environment afaik. You might have to turn it up crazy high because the object is rather small.
