    Really sorry if this is a repost, I have searched. I'm adding in text to a 3D space which is quite dark however I notice that when I add in text. It's always illuminated on the scene, I've tried changing the shaders and googling, but I'm a bit lost. Any help would be awesome.

    The TextMeshPro/Distance Field (Surface) shader allows the text to be affected by light/shadow.

    Thanks, Although I think this option isn't working for LWRP (I should have mentioned I was using this)

    I found a post from a few years ago saying this is just an effect of the render pipeline and it isn't supported. That is unfortunate.
