This is quite an early test.. what if you use particles as “light photons” ? Then no need to do raycasting?<\/p>\n

\n– Shuriken particle system, Shape: Cone, angle:90
\n– Collision planes on those white boxes (uh..shuriken doesnt support “world collisions”<\/a>, only infinity planes that you need to manually pick\/add..Oo?)
\n– Take each particle position, draw a light mesh there, currently shown as boxes..code taken from ChunkRenderer<\/a><\/p>\n
\n– optimize: only draw outer edges of the light mesh? how to build closed hull from random points in unity?
\n– particles can bounce, lose strengh = less light? if 1 area has many particles = brighter?
\n– draw particle location on lowres texture with setpixel instead? and use that as a light or projector mask?
\n– particles could stop moving after they hit the wall? (then you have outer edges of the light? triangulate that and draw mesh?)<\/p>\n
