Question Night is "too dark."

Am I the only one that thinks this?

I guess what I'm trying to say is that the way TD changed "night" seems to be like a black veil that affects EVERYTHING (including instruments). As if they took a black image and adjusted its opacity ramp. Or, to simulate a darker world be wearing a layer or two of black satin over your eyes.

It seems to be a "gimmick" rather than good implementation.

The proper modelling of how the human eye would adjust to "dark" seemed to be represented better in 4.09m and before. I don't mean to say it was "perfect" just "better."

The other thing that compounds this is that light sources don't generate a lot of ambient light. They seem to be "point light" sources only. So, light objects don't truly "illuminate".

I dunno. Just an observation (if I could see one).
