General Lighting Dev Team Question

TheBritain

Hi, I'm not sure where to post this, but Subnautica is created in Unity. It seems to have solved a lighting problem that we're having, and I would LOVE to know how you accomplished it. Actually, I would love to see anything on the more technical side of the making of Subnautica. Specifically however, how did you accomplish making an area dark, say like the creepvine fields, and having a well lit indoor area such as a base? I can't seem to get well lit indoor areas without pumping up the ambient lighting, and then my dark areas are too bright.

Thanks for your limited time.

Edit: Please go as in-depth with the technical stuff as you would like.

You'll probably need @Max for these technical questions However I think you're going to get an answers much sooner, if your step into their discord or maybe email them about things like this:

Hey thank you! I will pop on there as well, Discord unfortunately has two major disadvantages to forums, where long format explanations are difficult and people can't find the answer later either. Thank you for the link, I will check it out after work.
