Ambient Lighting volume

Such a simple thing.
Overrides lighting of a box area, so that you can control it indoors.
Did it really never occurred to anyone?

 

Fog areas would be nice too. That's something I would like.

These things would be fairly easy to program, though. The Render settings are exposed in the API:
https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/RenderSettings.html
You could make some sort of object (Scriptable Object, maybe?) called RenderSettingsProfile that has all of these fields duplicated and use it to store or set the RenderSettings values when ever the player enters a trigger collider.

It would be cool if the RenderSettingsProfile was an official thing though, similar to what they did with the post processing stack, and then you could also save and load settings as assets in to the lighting window.

 

That should be done on shader level with blending. Imagine walking into a building and looking outside where everything is suddenly dark.

 

I would like to know if it's possible too.

 

Maybe use the exposure in post processing volume?

here's a workaround for the legacy deferred renderer that reuses reflection probes
no idea why Unity still doesn't have (to my knowledge) anything like this built-in

 

Sorry for reviving an old post, but it's one of the only results when searching about this feature.
I needed this feature but couldn't find any resources, so I implemented it myself in URP and would like to share it with anyone in need.

[Effect Preview]
​

The effect is implemented via a custom shader named the "Cardinal" shader. it's all implemented using Shadergraph via sub-graphs and an HLSL file so it will be fairly easy to copy to your custom shaders should you need to.
The effect modifies the fragment process, working on individual pixels, so it gives decent results, enough for me for sure.
It uses structured buffers so it requires shader model 4.5 / ES 3.1.
The volumes are all boxes, my game is based on box-like rooms so it fits my needs well, but you can implement spheres and other shapes relatively quickly if needed.

I'm not very familiar with shader/graphic code so if you spot any optimizations or tips please let me know.

Cheers.
