Underground

A good standard setting for underground locations, is to set all the parameters of Ground Ambient Color to zero and reduce the Sky Ambient Color as you desire.

This creates an dark enviroment and if you think it is too dark, keep in mind to place lights (also the player is surrounded by his personal light).

Caves

A good setting for a cold and dark cave

Sky Ambient Color Red 0.21 Green 0.52 Blue 0.66

Ground Ambient Color Red 0.00 Green 0.00 Blue 0.00

This example grid uses also a blue static light.

All unmentioned settings remain unchanged.

Temples

Typical Temple Setting

Plus a height fog 0-1 m above ground level preferably set to blue color too.

Ground Fog for Grids

To create a more mystical scenery it is a good idea to add some ground fog to a grid. This is best done by using the Height Fog setting.

Typical Ground Fog Setting

Bottom Height 0 + ground level Top Height 0.5-1.0 + ground level Density 0.5
