Convert a Scene to Use Custom Lighting - Custom Lighting Models

Uploaded April 2025 | Updated September 2026, 2 weeks ago

In this video, I show how to convert an existing scene to use custom lighting in Unity. The method we use will enable us to very easily swap out the lighting in the entire scene in future videos.

Here's last week's video on creating cartoon lighting:
