[CE3] - VisArea still affected by the sun

Alphavader

Hey guys,

after learning some new stuff on the CE3, i got some
issues with my interior level. = The Sun. - affecting all my walls and stuff
I tried to put the entire environment into a VisArea, but this
doesnt work either.

Here a shot :







I allready asked on the crydev forum, but noone could help me,
here a few things ive tried:

1. Disabled the whole terrain : doesnt work
2. avoid "z-fights" no collision between objects: doesnt work
3. tight area arround the cubebox: doesnt work
4. setting up different changes in the vis area tab : doesnt work
5. try all these settings on a another computer : doesnt work -
6. e_sun 0 = doesnt work

Could anyone help me, this is a very annoing problem.

Thanks

Are you sure its the sun? looks to me like its just the ambient colour

hmm the walls getting darker and brighter, when i jump into the game..
So i think its the sun





//edit: Found a solution: on the "Time of day" tab,
turn the playspeed to 0 .. hope this works with the correct shading too..

- one more thing: if i move the slider on the lightning tab (for the sun) it stil affected all the lightning in the visarea.. strange too

Yes, the time of day, on some things, does effect it, this is because a vis area is mostly used as an occluder for a building or something of the like.

it's the fog - its still affecting your scene inside the VisArea. Also turn down the AmbientColor on the VisArea.

A thanks guys - but when i put the sun to 0, nothing happens with the walls,
does this include the fog too ?
The tip with the AbientColor is good, but isnt it a good possibility to give
the scene a ground lightning ?
How would you do it otherwise, for a Scifi Hallway for example ?
