This tutorial will show you how to add lights in Blender and get them to export correctly to i3d with Giants I3D Exporter.

Light setup

Light types

GE Blender
Point Point
Spot Spot
Directional Sun
Note: Area light type in Blender is not supported in GE

Standard Light Settings

Real light Color (R, G, B) Power Specular Radius Custom Distance Size Blend
Backlights 0.5, 0, 0 2.5 W 1.00 0.25 m 2.5 m 130° 0

Light attributes:

Giants Editor | Blender (Eevee)

Spot light only:

  • Cone Angle = Spot Shape →  Size

    Drop Off = Spot Shape →  Blend (1 = 5, 0.750 = 3.75, 0.5 = 2.5, 0.250 = 1.25, 0.000 = 0)


All light types:

  • Range = Custom Distance →  Distance (40 in Blender = 40 in GE)
  • Cast Shadow Map = Shadow need to be checked (Lights tab)
