Hey there @morfevs! Does this occur with rectangular lights on all projects or just this one?

Hi!

It happened on the VR Template only.

I am planning to do a VR scene - do I need to use the VR template? Or I can “transform” an empty scene (from a different template with the rect light working) into VR?

Thanks

You don’t require use of the VR template, it just enables some plugins that are useful for VR projects, as well as setting lots of editor/engine settings to help speed up getting started. Though it looks like this is caused by edges of the light. I thought this was a lightmap issue but I realized your lighting is dynamic. It seems Rect lights are unsupported for Forward Rendering and some other mobile rendering techniques.

Hi.
Thanks for your reply.

It looks like RectLights will not work on ANY VR template…
In 5.4 looks like it works, but its not, the rect light behaves like a spotlight :smiley:

From what I can tell, you’re correct. It seems spot or point lights are recommended for use in mobile or VR projects, as there’s some rendering compatibility issues.
