Title: Spotlight Effect Tutorial
Post by: DahongPunyal on February 03, 2014, 02:23:03 am

Is there any tutorial available to create a spotlight effect (almost similar to this post http://2dtoolkit.com/forum/index.php/topic,3118.msg15314.html#msg15314 (http://2dtoolkit.com/forum/index.php/topic,3118.msg15314.html#msg15314)) using tk2d?

I am using Orthographic camera (normal one). I also tried to switch the shader to lit one, and the collections' Normal Generation is set to Normals Only.

When I use the lit shaders, the sprites darken but when I tried to apply a spotlight, nothing happens. Can I have any idea of how to do it, if there's no tutorial available or any other technique to achieve this? Also, I am new to Unity3D.

Thanks!

Does it do anything if you have a unity sphere the same size at the same location? Does it work with an omni light / directional?

I works now. I changed the shader from lit to diffuse :D.

Thank you!

Oh, another thing.

I tried to used tk2d/LitBlendVertexColor, normals selected, and the lighting doesn't work.

It does, but its vertex lit. It won't work with very small (smaller than a triangle) lights. Diffuse will work with pixel lights.

Thank you!

The problem was just with the position and rotation. We can really close this thread now!

Thanks a lot!
