Light Your World in Unity - 1 Minute Tutorial

[@Vassay]

Now that's a proper quick tutorial! Unity should do this aces processing by default, seems like a lot of clicks just to get a "proper" look.

1min tutorial, straight to the point, every detail and even cheeky comments about unity being unity.. u earned my sub

[@MarcoStillSeasonsCattaneo]

Those videos are really fun, but I must ask: you really think that you are ready to do even a basic, good lighting after you've seen this? I don't want to play smart ass, mine is a genuinely honest question since I'm trying to get a picture of how learning channels are structured these days

[@HiyuMarten]

@@MarcoStillSeasonsCattaneo Art and craft are two different things, but often have to be learned at the same time, and that can be daunting - this video teaches the craft aspect, so that you can get to learning the art part sooner.

[@AlexGorskov]

​@@HiyuMarten well said!

[@yukamoz]

@@MarcoStillSeasonsCattaneo idc, i find this to be great and i will definitely be using this in all my games. why? because it doesnt look dry and it doesnt reek of default unity lighting. also, i dont need unreal engine 5 graphics for my vr games.

[@PastaCouch]

This channel is a hidden gem. You deserve more views and subs man. Keep up the good work!

[@ryanwolfe2219]

Big thanks, lots of very useful info packed into a brief minute. Love it!

[@RaccoonteurVR]

Rather than setting the sun light to 1.5 intensity, set the post processing exposure to 1.5. Then your bright light will affect even shaders like Poiyomi which clamp the brightness to 1.0 and thus appear too dim in worlds with bright light.

[@HiyuMarten]

Will cover exposure in future vid

This was wonderful, please keep creating tutorials in this style.

[@floreii]

its really weird how older versions of unity had a postprocessing layer by default and now its just gone, especially since postprocessing is more common now

[@jenniferroth7824]

Perfect vid. This is just what I need when I inevitably forget which little checkbox I forgot from six months ago when I last did a serious lighting effort 😂

[@Engineerisaac]

This is the best Unity VRC Lighting Tutorial on KZbin Hands down.

[@ScootOtter]

FINALLY A TUTORIAL WITH ALL THE STEPS! Thank you!!!

[@nati7728]

A gotcha for me was that since I'm spawning in a bunch of prefabs (i.e., realtime objects, not baked) I set my (in scene/hierarchy) Directional Light > Light > Mode > Mixed, instead of just Baked. With Baked I only had shadow from the geometry I had set as static, and my instantiated prefabs (things I couldn't just mark as static) didn't cast shadow. I set it to Mixed, and as implied, this will also render real time shadows. I also set Project Settings > Quality > Shadow Project > Close FIt (instead of Stable Fit) to make my shadows crispy in realtime.

[@rockthestar100]

Broken Shadows? A POTENTIAL fix > 1. Revert all the geometry BACK to Static:False - 2. Turn OFF all light sources (except for the one directional light that was set up for this) 3. Window>Rendering>Lighting Settings>Generate Lighting 4. Turn the light sources back on ------ Hopefully that has fixed some of the broken light/shadows --------- If you want the lighting and shadows to not break > just have all lights turned off (besides the one directional light) before "Generating Light". then turn the other lights back on. --------- Im unsure if this will work for everyone's case, reply on if it did or didnt help

[@Nexx11]

Thank you! I'm starting get into world creation and this will definitely help me, cheers!

[@BattleDroid0402]

Thank you for the suggestions :D

Oh my god, I did not expect the Virtual Furence VRChat world to show up here! I have that one set as my home world!

Yesss I love it! Time to experiment!

[@trocitosdefresa]

It was this or a 11 minute video. I love you man.

[@gunterstunter]

Adding the reflection probe makes my entire scene dark for some reason, any advice on how to fix this?

[@ancrobot8399]

I believe that you disabled the light source (eg. the directional light) or the reason may be that you are having multiple lights in the scene which messes up the shadows and all. Or for a dark scene that you've got, check your exposure in the "Sky" texture.

[@astrofenn7506]

hecc yeah you made this so much easier to understand......no idea how I was just like; YUP I get that. Thanks!

[@Rubycore]

Most of my stuff turned black, what do I do with this? >_> I think it's because the objects have a different texture without a shader, but idk how to fix it

[@slob5041]

the world went from the apple store to disneyland in less than a minute

[@jtm6186]

Oh! So it was you who made that awsome vrchat world!

[@theglamrxcks]

I just followed all the the steps, everything works in unity, but the moment I upload to vrchat, the post processing does not show in the world. Do you know what I need to do to get it to show in game?

[@FurryWrecker911]

You need to attach a post processing component to your Main Camera as well.

[@tariqmaximud]

thank you so much bro, Much love keep up the content!

[@dev-menon]

I am just wondering what I should do if I want the lighting to affect my character too?

[@HiyuMarten]

I really need to make a follow-up video on light probes!

[@DARK_AMBIGUOUS]

I don't like having to use a directional light to simulate the sun, my game is completely indoors and zu usually use point lights or spot lights in different areas but is there a way to make the game always lit everywhere, like a directional light but that doesn't aim in one direction. Like i want it to be a little bit dark where there are no point lights but not completely dark

[@bminecreeper]

It is my understanding that your main directional light doesn't point in one direction. My solution was to delete the main directional light, use an HDRI sky on a global volume, and then manually set the exposure to what I need it to be. If you are just starting your project I would recommend at least looking into Unreal, as I have had an extremely frustrating experience with lighting in Unity.

[@batmanjoker-mb1ed]

i want to make a game that it's graphic level is the same as manhunt 1 does it need a high gpu?

[@lenshibo]

funny enough lighting was the biggest set back ive been having with making my own world. right now i just have a shit ton of point lights everywhere. its a laggy mess

[@HiyuMarten]

omg yes thank you XD all tutorials should be like this

[@yusufhocaefendi]

Hello good day I have a question, in my unity map there is no light and sunlight on the scene screen but it seems like there is light. How can I fix this please help😓

[@seepsoda]

is there some way i can revert the bake it completely broke everything for me

[@UnPackedWolf]

I know i am one year late but maybe this will help someone: Click the arrow pointing down next to the "Generate lighting" button in the Lighting settings tap and press "Clear baked light" or something like that.

[@OmaMalte]

After I did that, I can't really see anymore. If I look at the stuff that's not shined on by the sun, it's just completely black, and looks 2D.

[@MrChevr3]

Didn't expect the Estrel Hotel here.

[@cloudsyler4541]

Hello! Thank you very much for this tutorial! I have just one question: Iam using Unity 2022 and in Package Manager i cannot find the post processing. Iam thankful for any help!

[@HiyuMarten]

Unity URP and HDRP have their own, separate post processing systems - this tutorial is for BIRP.

[@bobjoe1343]

This tutorial setup is for the default render pipeline and not URP or HDRP if I am correct.

[@HiyuMarten]

That's correct

[@LeperDoesStuff]

Im confused. where do you put the light component

[@vast634]

[@aerekchinchilla3250]

What do you do if the post processing isn't there?

[@lucutes2936]

why do i get a weird sphere instead of a reflection probe?

[@motivepigeon]

what about indoor lighting? (if you don't mind)

How do we make some in door lightning do we still use directional light ? I can't find a good tutorial or documantation about it

[@HiyuMarten]

Hi! For indoor sunlight, just make sure you position windows in places that let light into the areas you want illuminated. For areas without windows, place spotlights alongside props that you'd expect to see in that space. Important point: In real life, sunlight is a MILLION times brighter than indoor light. Try to make the outside light unreasonably bright if you have an interior - and use camera exposure (post process volumes) to change the exposure inside/outside the building.

amazing tutorial

[@VIRTURPP]

will this not decreased the mobile optimization? 🙏

[@HiyuMarten]

For mobile I recommend using no post-processing and no realtime/mixed lights, all baked. Baked lighting is just a texture, so runs really well :)

[@VIRTURPP]

@@HiyuMarten Noted, thank you for the feedback!

[@yukamoz]

nice job, but what about a glow effect for certain objects?

[@BatuhanTerzi1]

in a basic way you need to enable emission at the settings of material you created. in a more advanced way, you can watch tutorials of shaders, you can create your own glow effect like that.

[@CGNavi]

then the GPU baking randomly during a project starts artifacting down the line and you spends hours or days figuring it out why, you somehow fix it but not sure how and then it returns again.
