I have some questions about lighting, there is spotlight pointlight and direct light or something… How do you make it so the light looks like sunlight and goes through the cracks in leaves ect. I heard of something called beast or something… CAN YOU EVEN DO THAT LIGHTING? I have unity free version, I don’t have Pro, Ios, isoPro ect.

well for having light like sun you should use Directional light… then in inspector view or option change it’s flare to sun or anything else you want. this will make your sun and it will automatically do these things that you want… you can use soft or hard shadows … and if you get pro you can have RT shadows that look much better… :wink:

Hi! To do that, you must make the Directional Light object (GameObject->Create Other->Directional Light) and drag it to correct position (over your scene). If you want to make the “visible sun”, you must use Skybox:
