Adjust Lighting Intensity for Your Build Style

Access Shader Settings

Open the shader options menu while in-game by pressing the designated key (usually accessed through Video Settings > Shaders > Shader Options). Look for lighting and brightness controls specific to Astral Cinema Shaders.

Customize Illumination Levels

Astral Cinema Shaders provides sliders to control how soft the cinematic lighting appears. If your builds feel too dark, increase the soft illumination value to brighten shadowed areas while maintaining the film-like aesthetic. Conversely, reduce it if you prefer deeper, more dramatic shadows.

Fine-Tune Color Tone

Adjust the color temperature settings to warm or cool your world's appearance. Warmer tones enhance cozy builds like cottages and villages, while cooler tones suit modern structures and night scenes. Test different settings at various times of day—the shader's color grading changes dynamically with the sun and moon position.

Save Your Preferences

Once satisfied, your settings save automatically. Changes apply immediately without reloading your world, so you can experiment freely and see results in real-time across different biomes and lighting conditions.
