Smart Lighting 2D

Winner of the Best Development Tool in the Unity Awards 2019

Smart Lighting 2D is most powerful 2D light solution for Unity.

It allows to create multiple lightmaps with personalized light logic.

Lighting can be displayed as overlay or by using shaders and Shader Graph.

Line of Sight - Fog of War

Makes objects visible in light's sight.

Optimized Performance

SL2D is designed to have as little performance impact as possible for mobile devices. Culling is used to render and calculate only in-screen lights & shadow casters. Resolution output can be tweaked to reduce impact on GPU. Extensive testing showed that SL2D lighting is 3-5 times faster than Unity URP 2D lights.

Drag & Drop Shadow Casters

Shadow Casters contains property that defines the caster type: Collider2D, Custom Sprite Physics Shape, Mesh Renderer, etc.

Once property is set, selected shape points will be used by the shadow caster.
