5 Minute 2D Lighting in Unity Tutorial 2021

[@BMoDev]

Light up that subscribe button hee hee But seriously, please do it... I need this

[@pcd6music]

For anyone struggling to find the option to convert to URP, it's because as of Unity 2021.3 they changed where it's located. It is now under Window > Rendering > Render Pipeline Converter

[@the1marauder2]

Thank you!

[@AkramsChannel]

you're a legend

[@compassovec8672]

appreciate my brother

[@candylide]

Excuse me, it isn't working Instead of Render Pipeline, there is only a Rendering option which splits into "Materials->Convert selected built-in Materials to URP" and "Generate Shader Includes" It doesn't even let me convert the materials, what should I do? Sorry for the inconvenience

[@Coconut.Capybara2]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/sIKsoKaIZbVgiKc should help

[@amandacollins7392]

That burp lit me up fam 💡🥴

[@lordkakabel76]

Same. My daughter was playing Mario Galaxy next to me and lost it laughing.

[@Kopellis]

Render Pipeline is missing for me in the edit

[@Can8ian.]

This tutorial finally gave me the steps I needed to get 2d lights working. As a bonus, this tutorial helped me to do it in an existing 2d project I have been working on for a few months and saved me from having to create a new URP project and then re-do everything. Thank you soooooo much! Subbed!

[@eileeng2492]

Was so glad to see the upload notice. Had to watch immediately. Great vid as usual. Keep them coming BMO

[@BMoDev]

Thank you!

[@XxJaimeSGxX]

Hey bro one question what do i do if my laptop blew up after tryin this?

[@BMoDev]

Did you try un-plugging it and plugging it back in again?

[@SageNode]

Upgrade scene to 2D renderer is not an option... it’s not there

[@aidanmcdonald7229]

this is the best of its kind. keep making more videos man this needs more views

[@BMoDev]

Appreciate ya!

[@themistophos]

The option "upgrade scene to 2D Renderer" is not available in unity 2021. How to do it? I can't render the graphics missing this option.

[@MaizaMriza]

Its stupid but I found the new way to do it. If you still need to do it. Go to Window>Rendering>Redner Pipeline Converter. and you can upgrade from there

[@ouroboss8401]

Omg, just all my love on you ! in 5 min you save my project xP i instantly sub and keep going man ! *sorry for my english*

[@BMoDev]

[@amuzakishikawa3730]

this channel is basically that one Miziziziz video on how to make good tutorials come to life. Good shit man, you'll blow up soon!

[@lordkakabel76]

Best video yet! Keep it up!

[@BMoDev]

Thanks man, appreciate ya!

[@latefid]

best tutorial ive ever seen

[@BMoDev]

🙏😭

[@dcry1003]

just wanna ask can i use 2D light renderer with postprocessing? because last time i tried and upgrade my scene i cant access my already made post processing

[@revmatch6r]

I'm a simple man. I see new bmo, I press play

[@cococamo191]

I can't select upgrade scene to render pipeline. Its all greyed over for some reason.

[@benevolent9130]

If your light is not working, reinstall and do the steps one by one. If something isn't working, make sure you don't have ANY other lights 2D on. To go from everything black -> Lightning up a specific area, you need to give the light sorting layers, your whole scene (All) otherwise, it will work as a global light.

[@Ghotet]

Good stuff but how do I get my skybox to work with this? Everything else looks good.

[@im_Dafox]

Hey, thanks a lot for this :] Any idea how to get cast shadow from tiles/tilemaps ?

[@a65tesla]

Where to find it point light 2d in units 2021?

[@hasankarakoc7217]

Please keep those tutorials! They are really awesome!

[@BMoDev]

Happy to hear it, will do!

[@liamlennon3861]

Very helpful. It's always nice when a video is to the point. Thanks!

[@jimmyljr95]

Nice and clean tutorial BMo! How can we add a "clock/timer" to our game to make time pass with night and day cycles?

[@fieryninja2374]

u can use a point light and change the position slightly with a fixed update method. Each time add a position to the current position if it reaches noon right an if statement to check the position of the sun (if it is at the highest point in the sky) then add a different Vector2 to it's position making it move down. Repeat with the moon and you should have a day and night cycle

[@haachamachama7]

@@fieryninja2374 Or if he just wants it to grow light and dark, just adjust the directional light and have a timer for the time of day, and have it change colour along 2 or 3 gradients(day, night, evening/dawn). This is quite a complicated question to ask in a comment though, i made a fairly basic one for my game and it took a fair bit of work lol

[@scottisitt]

1:49 Is it still a one-way process if you're using version control?

[@Arcaman2000]

It seems I can't manage to have my screen black or the option to make an upgrade from my existing scene. Options changed too.

[@curiouspinoytv]

it makes screen black on some android devices

[@appleseedgames6934]

Render Pipeline doesn't appear

[@masterlewzilla2116]

Very slick! I love it.

[@beach_bum_dev]

instant sub, this is the most concise and accurate way to present the relevant info. This is great reference material. Thank you for the quality content!

[@BMoDev]

Awesome, thank you!

[@catlikeanimation8651]

thank you!!!

[@darrylwolfe7359]

Question: What if you have a prefab with sprites in it and you do the convert scene to 2d Renderer thing, does that mean the sprites on that prefab will be affected and because of it when you use that same prefab on a different scene, it would be updated also? Or is that prefab will only have 2d Renderer work on the first scene only?

[@VikalHimanshu]

In my project it is only affecting my characters but no effect on tilemap. If I turn off the tilemap renderer the light has no effect on camera color either. Only affects characters. What is going wrong? Freeform Light 2D seems to work though.

[@imheretosleep]

So if I want to build this in android, does it still look the same?

[@jonathanfoss7825]

Quick and right to the solution. Wonderful video.

[@nomadic-lyfe9877]

Great Video!!

[@BMoDev]

Thanks!

[@Wintergrim_Entertainment]

Hi! When I rotate the camera, in perspective camera mode, the lights move away to wrong places. They stay while using ortographic camera. The lights are not on the camera object. Anyone know how/if this is fixable?

[@JB-zp1xt]

Is there a way to only affect the environment with postprocessing effects like bloom? or would i need to do individual shaders for anything i want bloomy?

[@ceistudioindia5836]

Great! I had a question. Whats the difference between this Bloom method and the Other Bloom effect method shown by you in another video? This one seems quicker! Is it the same?

[@AlMgAgape]

LightWeight RP or Universal RP, which the better?

[@BMoDev]

Pretty sure Lightweight RP turned into Universal RP

[@obanxMolly1991]

straight to the point, this helped me a lot! Nice burp too.

[@PointToBlank89]

Thank you so much for this mate.

[@kishorr2707]

mate I have an idea pitching event in 2 days and u saved my crap looking game

[@Stompin40]

This is fantastic!

[@MarstonBoii]

Ok, kinda dumb question, but how do you add light to your player? Ive been fighting with it for a while now and I cant make it happen

[@catlikeanimation8651]

i know this is from a year ago, but if anyone reading this needs it: you can attach a light as a child of you player character. a point light would probably work best but its up to you.

[@haachamachama7]

Unity is so non-user friendly if that's the right word... lol, I've done this SEVERAL times, but I had to watch the video cause I couldn't remember how to do it. You know what they could do? They could add a button that says "upgrade to 2D renderer" and it automatically A. Downloads URP, B. Adds the renderer and C, this was the part that i was stuck at... Adds the 2D renderer to the pipeline. Why is this so hard to do? lol, if I knew more about editor programming, i could probably program it myself...

[@fieryninja2374]

U earned a sub

[@許哲綱-q5d]

good thank you

[@kylemarquez5834]

Hi! Good video I have a little problem tho I can't seem to find the Render pipeline in my Edit tab. I only have rendering and Generate shader includes under it, I don't have a Universal render pipeline. any fix to this?

[@mikoo1991]

same

[@mikoo1991]

kyle, have you found a solution?

[@kylemarquez5834]

@@mikoo1991 I haven't sadly

[@Arcaman2000]

Shit...

[@gavinabeele5519]

It got moved to Window > Rendering > Render Pipeline Converter

[@pamonja4301]

Ojama Lime?

[@JustABakerBird]

For some reason, the light shines no matter what, if the light intensity is 0, it still shines

[@faris_diz]

same

[@faris_diz]

Just set Target Sorting Layers to all

[@faris_diz]

IF you cant change the intensity of the Global Light just set Target Sorting Layers to All, that should fix the problem

[@sudence]

it's lit

[@VeryHappyCat]

Thanks

[@mhze]

Well as I can see you are a professional unity game developer. Can you make a new tutorial series? ( How to make a "people playground" game in unity). that would be awesome because no one has done this before!

[@gustavrosgaardsrensen8028]

Luv u

[@ChompingCabbage]

It doesn't show me the option for a Point Light 2D. What am I doing wrong guys? Edit: UNLESS POINT LIGHT 2D HAS BEEN CONVERTED TO SPOT LIGHT 2D OMG

[@BMoDev]

Ye i think my timing on this tutorial was unfortunate

[@vista777]

Great tutorial, but they've renamed and restructured everything in the next update and none of this applies anymore :`(

[@BMoDev]

Guess I'll have to do it again 🤷‍♂️

[@vadwin1485]

Why deceive? shadow caster 2d only works up to unity version 2020. You write lighting in unity 2021 in the title of the video, and you yourself use the unity version 2019

[@MidnightSkyGD]

This isn't Unity 2021.
