Light Visual Effect

The Light Visual Effect applies a simulated light source onto the object. The source of the light can be controlled and animated by another object.

This fake light source does not cast shadows.

Note

Grease Pencil objects are still not affected by real lights objects, so this effect can act as workaround to obtain a similar lighting condition when in the scene are Grease Pencil objects together with 3D meshes and lights.
