Fine-Tune Brightness and Shadows

Vignette Low End Shaders provides gentle shadows and balanced lighting perfect for photography. Customize these settings to match your building style.

1. Open shader options (Shift + O)

2. Locate shadow intensity or shadow distance settings

3. Increase shadow detail for dramatic lighting; decrease for softer, more forgiving light

4. Adjust world brightness to brighten or darken your overall scene

5. Check sky color settings if you want warmer or cooler tones

Timing Your Shots

Lighting changes throughout the day cycle:

  • Dawn and dusk produce warm, golden light ideal for building screenshots
  • Midday offers bright, neutral lighting with minimal shadows
  • Night creates deep shadows and emphasizes any light sources you've placed

Combine shader settings with strategic torch placement to highlight architectural details.
