I am having a strange problem with light bleeding through my meshes and causing light lines in the shadows see this image it was working great press j to jump to the feed.
Unity directional light bleeding through wall.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Shadow maps are a kind of fickle technology.
I have found that when i disable the directional light and use the gaia light presets the bleed through issue goes away.
A potential solution is to open the gameobject s mesh renderer a mesh component that takes the geometry from the mesh filter and renders it at the position defined by the object s transform component.
Set the point light s baking property to mixed or baked then bake your lighting data using the lighting tab.

I was wondering how i could go about culling the lights so they no longer shine through walls.
That s why shadows exist.
You can start here in the unity manual.
You can simulate this in shaders or use raycasts to see if the light is behind a wall.
Place it just behind your wall so that it blocks the light from leaking out.

In some situations normal bias can cause an unwanted effect called light bleeding where light bleeds through from nearby geometry into areas that should be shadowed.

Note that this will take a long time depending on the size of your scene and the number of lights 3.
It will pay dividends to learn how they work what the settings do and how to work around problems like this.
If a light is next to a wall on one side you can see it on the floor on the other side.
Shadows are the obvious answer however i assume you are using lite and that s not an option.
These options have obvious edge cases that can t be easily resolved.
This is caused because the use inverse squared falloff is set to on by default forcing you to have to use way more lights than whats needed or to set it s value far outs side acceptable values.
Welcome to unity answers.
Make sure to check out our knowledge base for commonly asked unity questions.
I m not sure if you are familiar with gaia but you create a new scene which adds a default directional light and default terrain.
Position these to block any light leaking through the bottoms of walls.

In that case you ll need to be a bit more clever.
I believe this has something to do with culling masks or light culling.
