Lighting

There shall be light!

Discover the U-Render lighting set up! U-Render supports a range of light, falloff and shadow types to give you full control over the look of your art style. Shadow types and parameters allow fine-tuning and optimize your performance.

Light Types

Choose from spotlights, point lights, infinite (directional) lights and area lights. Each light type supports different shadow and falloff types.

Falloff Types

Lights control is the key

U-Render supports a wide range of falloff types (Linear, None, Inverse Square). Use no falloff for distant light sources like the sun or Inverse Square for physically accurate falloffs. Or choose Linear or step falloff.
