Making caves/tunnels dark

[Bazsi37]

So the cave section i am making looks like this:

But i want it to look like this:

Without changing time of day to night.

Question: What is a consistent way to make underground caves dark? How do i prevent light from “leaking in”? Specifically, i am looking for an asset that can block light.

I have tried to box the area in question with rendinst that are not hollow:

But in vain:

still super bright inside a closed tunnel:

People already complained Moscow huts are too dark they cannot see enemies there. Is this really a good change?

I would personally don’t mind it. But I think it could have bad outcome for older people and so.

try to use tone_map color grading node

it will allow you to make darker / lighter certain areas

tone_map color grading node

Not bad, but it makes the outside dark too.

ah…

there’s also an outside?

perhaps try with one way objects?

like, bottom is invisible, top is solid?

( some of them do have shadows despite being " invisible " )

talking about for example, soldier_menu
or menu_diorama

beside that, sorry. i don’t know much else.
