Forced Shadows - negative RGB not enough?

Post by CollegeforKids »

I'm creating a cave carved into a mountain on my map. The cave just isn't dark enough for how deep inside the mountain it is, so I'm trying to make a shadowed area...The wiki mentions trying making the rgb values negative. I have tried this (all the way from -50 all the way to -1000.) The thing is that when in edit mode, the shadow appears. Out of edit mode, even after recalculating, the shadow does not appear. Is this actually possible? Just curious...

regardless of the shadow light's strength, the brightness will NEVER under ANY circumstance go below the values for /ambient, so give that a boost or a decrease and see if it helps
