🧵 Blender lighting not working
Anonymous at Sat, 19 Mar 2022 19:21:15 UTC No. 887488
I start a new project but the lighting isn't working. I was watching the Blender donut series and his lighting just naturally works in realtime with shadows. Whereas I seem to be stuck.

You started midway instead of the very start. There are several things that he sets up in order to get it to work.
Light reacts to every surface and object, so place a cube or plane under an environment

This looks like a gpu issue, had something similar happen to me. Try updating your drivers, because your light is there and it shouldnt look like that

EEVEE or Cycles? As another anon said that does look fucked, like some GPU shit is happening (AMD gpu? non-cuda nvidia GPU with 'force GPU' mode fakery stuff?)
Unless you actually put a restricted render bounding box over the viewport (ctrl b and drag, iirc; very useful).
By default it's set to EEVEE not Cycles, and by default EEVEE's extra things (ambient occlusion, shadows iirc, reflections, some other things) are turned off by default partly because they're "expensive" and partly because they require a little extra knowledge or setup (they don't "just werk" out of the box).
