Light Textures in Blender Eevee
So, I have mentioned this before, but I have found some more information and new discoveries that can help make a Light Texture in Blender Eevee more possible.
- I was able to put down a plane using an A button transparent image and messed a bit around with the spotlights properties and was able to get a working shadow of the A button.
- I am not mentioning nodes for lights in eevee. I am mentioning specifically textures alone. A good example is how the brushes have there own texture section in the properties tab. Maybe its possible to add something similar to that but specifically for lights?
- A lot of people I know personally use this feature in cycles so I know it will be really popular and great to have the ability to use it in Eevee.
- If needed, I can send the blend file I used to replicate the light texture here, and see if its possible to make some sort of addon, or use it to make light textures finally a part of eevee. You can message me on blender.chat with the username MLSpence.

Hello im very interested in this, i work with projection mapping and im looking into creating a tool for projection calculation. And with eevee i wouldnt have to render haha plus i would get a good render right away. Could you upload the file or do a step by step? i will keep looking thou, thanks!
* @neonuts * You might find this tutorial I did a little while ago useful, there's also an addon to speed the process up mentioned at the end: youtu.be/VnE9XOGSvSM
This can be done with nodes and nodes support for lights in Eevee is planned already. But it could be an option directly in the new lights shared menu between Eevee and Cycles instead of being a node related thing!
* @Shimoon * yeah you're right! what I am saying is that for now while we don't have nodes for eevee lights, maybe an alternative for the shared menu can be done!
