My lights are not showing in 3D

Nerdzmasterz

This is probably a newbie question, but my omnilight doesn't turn on? I am working on a fairly dark scene with no sun, so it's difficult to design the world when it's pitch black, minus a very dim glow from the dynamic fog.

Nerdzmasterz it's difficult to design the world when it's pitch black

Until you fix the OmniLight3D, you could temporarily add ambient lighting.

belgian_street_lamp

maybe check if its hidden or if range or energy values are more than 0

Nerdzmasterz

Already did. Hm...

belgian_street_lamp

Nerdzmasterz maybe take a screenshot, it will be easier to see what's wrong

Nerdzmasterz

belgian_street_lamp

Not sure what good it will do, I figured I am just doing something really, really dumb here.

belgian_street_lamp

Yeah that didn't help. Are you using sprite3d's by any chance or 3d models

Nerdzmasterz

3D models.

Ugh... Godot 4.x... I honestly find you far more annoying than your predecessor.

belgian_street_lamp

Nerdzmasterz Yeah sometimes it’s true

belgian_street_lamp

Nerdzmasterz did you try switching renderers? And do they not work in other projects or only this one?

Nerdzmasterz

Just this project, I have it set for VR. As such, I'm not completely familiar with the renderers yet. I just wanted something to test Godot 4 with. I understand Oculus is actually an Android device, does that matter?

Megalomaniak

Nerdzmasterz I understand Oculus is actually an Android device, does that matter?

yes, without a doubt. Also, is it that no omnilights work, or just one of them doesn't?

papalagi

I had a few problems with lighting in Godot, but with light baking, from my understanding you're not using Baked Lights, am I right?

Nerdzmasterz

I honestly don't know how to make lights dynamic or static yet, so it's whatever it is by default.

papalagi

check these buttons:

they add virtual lights to viewport if none is found in the scene tree

Nerdzmasterz

I have environment on but sun off as I have no sun. Does that matter?

papalagi

Nerdzmasterz

from my understanding the buttons work the opposite way: they add env and light if there's none in the scene

sometimes they messed up my viewport lighting

DaveTheCoder

You can add ambient lighting like this:

 WorldEnvironment/Environment settings:
        Ambient Light
		Source: Color
		Color: white (255,255,255,255)
		Energy: 1

Nerdzmasterz

I haven't tried with other lighting yet... but by default the first one did nothing.

I do have a question, tho. I have created a new environment with a node so I could use a different sky. Would that change anything?

Nerdzmasterz

Oh my gosh. I deleted the environment, and increased the light size, then turned on the sun. Now it works.

Now I just have to get my skybox to work. It seems so weird that I can't just make a CG box and add different textures to the sides. If I go back to an environment, the light stops working again.
