Light Setups
| Setup | Result |
|---|---|
| AmbientLight only | Flat uniform lighting, no shadows |
| DirectionalLight only | Harsh contrast, pure black shadows |
| Ambient + Directional | Realistic outdoor lighting (sun + sky fill) |
| Ambient + PointLights/SpotLights | Indoor scenes with local light sources |
Ambient light controls shadow appearance—without it, shadows are pure black. Even in nighttime scenes, keep enough light (e.g. AmbientLight) for the viewer to see the environment.
Recommended Setup
Use AmbientLight + CSM (Cascading Shadow Maps). CSM replaces DirectionalLight with superior shadow quality out of the box—no need to manually configure shadow camera bounds.
