This page gives you an overview about lights at a glance.

Wait, this isn't what I want!

• To learn about shadows in the world, check Environment: Shadows

• To learn about shadows for equipment items, check Meshes, Shadows, and Shadow Meshes

• For a guide how to add lights to AMM props, check AMM light components

• For a quick overview on lights and their properties, check Cheat Sheet: Lights (currently WIP)

• If you want to learn more about blocking light, check Occluders and light blocking

How do lights work?

IDK either! But maybe someone edits the wiki :/

Directional lights

Cyberpunk uses three types of lights:

Point light

The light is a sphere and is equally bright in every direction

Spot light

The light is a cone. The sharpness is defined by its inner and outer angle.

Area light

The light is a square (like a light panel).
