How do I create neon lights?

Questions & Answers

Hello there

I’m here to ask about how to create a noen light. I have a little building in my map and I want to put a neon light around the top edges of it.

I have tried a few lighting types but I can’t get the effect I want. I came here and had a look at how to do this, but most answers say you need the pro version…well, I don’t currently have the pro version. So if I can’t make a proper neon light then am I able to fake one instead? Or even make an object into a lit up thing?

This highlighted object here is where I want the neon light

Thanks for any replies!

If you can use static baking with lightmaps, then you can use an emissive shader.

If you want dynamic lighting with realtime shadow you will need to use an emissive shader or unlit shader with point lights or spot.
