It might be outside the scope of this course but was interested as to what causes this black stripe along the wall. I tried messing around with the directional light but that’s not causing it. Using latest UE5, 5.11? if that has anything to do with it.
I did try building the lighting again after messing around with it more. After realizing that my player start was in the wrong direction I rotated my level 180 degrees and now the black line is on the other side. UE has some funny quirks…
Yup, I double-checked the project on github just to make sure. The directional light in that project is pointing in the same direction as the level, so it makes sense you don’t see shadows like you have there.
