Directional light in a house

[ParaToxic]

Hey I make a level in the Editor right now and have the problem ,that I have bright spots in the house although there is a roof.How can I fix that?

Probably an issue with the geometry resulting in leaking light. You could either fix up the geometry (someone else can probably advise you better on how to do that but I think bevelled edges on the walls and ceilings generally help) or if there are no windows you could simply turn the directional light off whilst in the building (only applicable when redering in your game engine of course).

I had this problem.I tried making celing of room thicker and it seemed to work. I also tried rotating the directional light but although this also worked it left me with lighting effects I did not like.

..it seems it is quite large 'light leak'..having said that, have you check your ceiling material and is it cullface flag inside material set to 0 ?

I assumed there was a point light in there too, that is one huge leak otherwise !!!

I see the problem was ,that the roof polygons were directed into the room ,so from outside I could see through.So I made a 2nd "roof" and now it is better,but there are still some light spots at the edges.

I believe bevels do help with the leaks at the edges, I used to get this with models designed in 3DWS. I guess it depends on how its been constructed.
