Hi all.

Im wondering if its possible to provide different lighting and atmosphere to different part of a scene..

I want to make a scene where one place is a bright and sunny elf village and after moving down the road,you enter a dark and gloomy forest..Right now the sun in my scene seems to make everything sunny and cheerful including the forest..Is there any way to accomplish this ? Or is the only solution to load another scene for the forest ?

Im just starting out with a month of experience in unity .

Thank you

Hi,

I've only been using unity for 8 months or so, but I have one idea off the top of my head.

You could set up a SphereCollider or BoxCollider with isTrigger = true. Have it encompass the areas of the game that have mood lightings associated with them. In your OnTriggerEnter function, if Collider.other = player, manipulate your directional light gameobject accordingly. Adjust the intensity of the light, maybe change the color, angle etc.

Make sense?
