Mirror Ball & Suncatcher Light(VRChat / VRC Light Volumes)

Overview

This is a light asset that creates mirror ball–style visual effects for VRC Light Volumes environments.
It can also be used to produce effects similar to a suncatcher light, projecting beautiful, shifting light patterns.

Rotation speed and light behavior can be easily adjusted.
This is an asset designed for VRChat worlds.

The light can illuminate objects and avatars that use VRC Light Volumes–compatible shaders such as liltoon, poiyomi, Filamented, and others.

Important Notes

• This asset is designed exclusively for environments using VRC Light Volumes.
  It will not function in projects where VRC Light Volumes are not installed.
• As long as VRC Light Volumes is imported into the project, the asset will work.
  Light baking is not required.
• This light passes through walls and other objects.
  If you want to reduce light penetration, please adjust the Light Source Size and Intensity values.
• Setting the rotation speed extremely slow may cause the animation to appear choppy.

VRC Light Volumes Settings

• In Light Volumes Manager, set Point Light Volumes Resolution to 512 × 512.
  This increases the resolution of the projected mirror ball patterns.(Setting it to 1024 × 1024 will produce even higher quality, but may cause frequent editor reloads.
  In that case, it is recommended to switch to high resolution just before uploading the world.)
• Enable Auto Update Volumes in Light Volumes Manager.
  If this setting is disabled, issues such as stuttering rotation, flickering, or incorrect lighting may occur.
