Emulating Light2D texture property in 3D

zerohootsoliver

I have created a 2D game and I am now moving it to a 3D game with a down-pointing orthogonal camera. The closest thing to what I am trying to achieve is to create Light2D and LightOccluder2D nodes were the light is and objects blocking the light and then project it on to the texture of a sprite using a viewpoint.

How do I create a light like this in 3D space?

Thanks

Spotlight node should do the job.

Godot doesn't support projector textures in 3.x, but using a SpotLight node should give you a similar effect as said above. Godot 4.0 will feature support for projector textures in both OmniLight and SpotLight.

Spotlight is perfect!

Great to know.
