Point Light Range has very limited effect

Hi,

I'm having some trouble lighting a scene.
I have a realtime point light in the middle of the scene, and I'd like to light objects around it relatively evenly, so I set a very long range (like 50). The problem is that, after about 5 meters , no matter how long is the range I set, nothing changes. I can't get the light to reach farther objects.
Up to about 5 meters I can see the range changing, but not after that.
It's the only active light in the scene. Realtime, no shadows.
I'm using the LWRP.

Any clues? Is that a bug in the LWRP?

Thanks!

 

The LWRP uses a real world inverse square falloff light attenuation calculation that is technically infinite in range, but means the light gets very dim quickly. The light’s range setting is used to limit that range artificially.

If you want the light to reach further, make it brighter at the same time as you adjust the range.

 

Thank you, bgolus.

That's what I was trying to avoid. I don't want objects near the point light to be too bright. So what I need is a different attenuation curve.
For what I've been seeing, this can only be achieved by editing the Lighting.hlsl file. I managed to do that and got the attenuation I wanted, but Unity keeps overriding my changes with the original file.
Now I need to find out how to edit this file and make it stick

 

Did you figure out how to make that stick? And would you mind sharing that code?

 

the draw back to this method is that objects closer to the light source end up receiving an extreme amount of light. the more intense the light is, the brighter it is going to be. I have been having this problem with LWRP I am making a galaxy exploration game and the light limits are a pain in the butt. The only reason I use LWRP is because I use a procedural planets generation system that needs a LWRP shader to work, no clue how to convert LWRP shader to a standard shader format

 

You need to move URP from package to local, for changes to stick.
