Legacy Lighting Remake

I’ve already made this a while ago, but I’ll just showcase it here as well as I’m mainly looking for feedback.

Get it here: https://create.roblox.com/store/asset/6325668010/Legacy-Lighting-Remake

Anyways this remakes the old lighting engine Roblox used to have before its removal in 2019. This mainly remakes the old neon color behavior & fog density.

:grey_question: How to use

It’s very simple. Set the lighting to compatibility, put the effects in lighting & put the “Legacy” script in PlayerScripts or ReplicatedFirst (It can be a server script as well, but I don’t recommend it for latency reasons)

:exclamation: Problems & Limitations

  • Neon colors aren’t exactly perfect to the original color.
  • Old neon glow isn’t possible without the use of blur effects. (Bloom does not achieve this)
  • Fog isn’t really accurate as old fog was more “rectangular.”
  • Materials behaved differently compared to today.

With that out of the way, here is some pictures w/ some comparisons to the actual lighting.

Here is some better examples that use more neon

Feel free to leave any feedback or suggestions as I’m trying to make this accurate as possible.
