as said before, the cell won't be accessible in the custom story, so the player won't be able to look up through the grating.

If the cell's not accessible, then it doesn't matter what kind of billboard you use but, unless it's bright enough on your computer and the forums are just darkening your pictures, I would make the billboards more see-through (decrease individual billboards' alpha values or darken them all) so that the writing you put on the wall is visible.

I've turned down the alpha values but it's still the same opacity :c

I would put a Pointlight with a light value of .3, .3, .3 in there too. Part of the reason it looks odd is that there's these super bright moonlight billboards, but no apparent added illumination on the floor underneath them, the boxlight is doing all the work.

Yes, but bigger. A chamber with moonlight streaming in that strongly should be well-lit on the floor, with some lesser silvery lighting bouncing up onto the walls. A low-intensity light with a high enough radius to light all four walls would look good, and also make the writing on that wall more legible. Smile

Ok, I've fixed it now and I think it looks pretty good. It's a bit dark in the picture but it's brighter in-game.

The billboards are too strong for me.

Agreed although your cell is getting better and better with each screenshot Smile

Yeah, I'm trying to get the billboard to have less opacity,
But it doesn't work :c
