PITCH BLACK lets you add darkness to your environments with precise control. Place PITCH BLACK actors in pits, corners, caves, and holes to cover them in absolute shadow. No light is powerful enough to overcome it.


Plunging into the darkness fades your camera to black, as oblivion overcomes you.


Create bottomless pits, horror game cameras, mysterious doorways, or creepy fogs.


Each PITCH BLACK actor lets you customize:

  • Location, Rotation, and Scale
  • Shape (Rectangular or ellipsoid)
  • Fade-in distance
  • View distance
  • Intensity
  • Real-time updates
  • Darken either inside or outside the mask


PITCH BLACK achieves its effects in post processing, using the scene depth buffer to determine which pixels should receive darkness.


PITCH BLACK works with all types of lighting. It can darken both lit and unlit materials. Unlike volumetric materials, it works at all graphics levels.
