Question by MrSteve1 · Jun 26, 2013 at 07:47 PM · lightinglightpointlightspoint light

Point Lights just dont work

Hey guys, I have been usin Unity for some time now, but this has never happened to me before. My point lights seem to have stopped working in Game View.

I've attached some image to demostrate what I mean, maybe I did something wrong?

Scene View alt text

Game View alt text

Any ideas anyone?

If you are using multiple point lights, you may have to up the Pixel Light Count in Edit/Player Settings/Quality.

I thought about that, but this is the only point light in the scene, other than the directional light

Go into your light and look at 'Render Mode'. Change Render Mode to 'Important'. Try that out..

If your have pixel light set to 0. nothing will show so make sure you at least have pixel light at a value of 1.

Not sure, but maybe raise the Pixel Light Count in the Quality Settings.
