How to have more shadows on the walls?

[seon]

Hi all, how do I add shadows on the edge of the walls?

I have no idea how to use render elements to add “Extra Texture” to my drawings. I’ve tried all blending modes but it won’t blend together with my drawings for preview.

After I apply Multiply blending options, the screen turns to black.

Please Help…

Add the Ambient Occlusion render element. I believe you will have to add this in post processing, but I haven’t used it in awhile.

How can i not use it in post? Would like to adjust the settings using the render preview window.

I’ve tried to follow the steps in the video at 12:00 onwards but after selecting multiply, my whole image turns black.

Not sure, I’ve not used that method.

Ambient Occlusion is not a render element or channel. It’s part of the Global Illumination settings in the Asset Editor. You have to first enable the advanced settings by expanding the ‘hamburger’ menu:

It is also available as a render element.
