Hello. I have a problem trying to make a dark room in Houdini. As you can see in the photo, inside a room with no windows or doors, it still looks bright. It is as if the light of the external sun passes through the walls.

Probably the Kernel is set to AO Direct Lighting preview mode.
Set the Kernel to Path Tracing or PMC for a correct result.

Hi! Yes, using Path Tracing instead of Direct Light, solves the problem... thanks!
