Unity 2D Basic Lighting Tutorial!

[@trackhero2714]

Great job. It amazes me how official tutorials, or other tutorials manage to make something like this so convoluted when they explain it and it ends up not working out. Awesome!

Perfect! Thankyou, was following another tutorial but it was out of date and confusing. Thanks for this easy to follow video. Subscribed!

One little tip for 2D lights: try to avoid Point Light, because it's crazy on performance. Much better choice is to use Freeform Light and then change its form as you like. This saved me up to 40 fps. Another thing to do: don't use a lot of lights in your game. Just 3 lights are enough to kill your FPS. And lastly: if you want your game to be very optimized and run on any devices: don't use any rendering at all. You can get +- similar results by using transparent sprites and applying colors to them, along with playing with alpha to make it look more Light-ish(?). You can find a video about these transparent light's on Blackthornprod's channel.

You know how I can darken the whole map light up parts of it using that transparent light method?

[@goodgamershow6505]

@@Djinn667 I would simply go for darkening the texture pack of yours. Or putting a giant semi transparent box, making its colour black and setting alpha to kinda 0.3-0.4. It will also look like it's dark

[@Djinn667]

@@goodgamershow6505 I forgot to mention, I would like the map to be 100% black and have parts of it light up.

Very nice video! but how your asset can cast shadows ?

[@topsidestudios5947]

Currently I just create my own shadows using grey shapes because I have no moving lights so dynamic shadows are not needed. I am planning on adding dynamic casting shadows within the next month and will be sure to upload a tutorial video when I can 🙂

I don't have an option for a point light? but still have all the other options. Help...

[@OliveriousYT]

Scene doesn't turn black for me :/

[@johanjonsson7018]

Same for me. it upgrades all objects so they are black but the scene and game view is still dark grey and light grey

[@johanjonsson7018]

I think i solved why. He has a background in his scene and if i just added a square and made it huge and -layer then it works fine

How to put a light behind a sprite and only shine thru a transparent part of the sprite

my point light is not showing in the game scene, dunno why :( EDIT: the issue was that the point light was behind the camera, i set its z to 50 now it is showing

Thx for the tutorial. I would really like to know how could I apply these effects on mobile without affecting performance (I'm making a simple game).

[@munchymcmouthington298]

as I understand it, sprite lighting is used to create stuff like dappling. While you can apply it to any old sprite, Unity has "Sprite masks" in mind. see: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fGbPaamGbpV4rLc

Its very demanding, old phones with poor GPU performance are lagging with URP experimental 2d((

[@topsidestudios5947]

This can be true, especially with a lot of lights. I would highly recommend writing a light handling script to deactivate lights outside of the players screen, this should help a lot with performance

@@wolker213 Hmmm, the early testing I have done on my phone (Huawei p20) using my game has been pulling higher than that.
