This is a free asset of Christmas lights I made specially for your VRChat worlds!

All the Christmas lights models are low-poly, uses one material and optimized for static batching.

The main feature of this Christmas lights is that you are able to customize and make your own effects with gradient maps, flow speed control, color animations... You can even animate it using a flipbook animation... or a realtime camera... Or... a video stream! Do whatever you want, you are not limited in anything!

NOTE: Use it with post processing stack bloom to achieve the best result!

Dynamic Lights update by Lyuma! (v.1.3)

How to make your own gradient patterns?

This shaders just shifts a gradient pattern through the model's UV map in any direction with any speed.

For the line models, every light bulb is mapped diagonally.

So, you can control every light with different horizontal gradients independently:

For the square type models, all the bulbs are mapped into a one grid:

You can map it like this to make some kind of a rain effect:

But, basically, you can display any texture like this. Even a render texture or a video stream.

How to make your own models for this shaders?

You can model your own Christmas lights. Just place your light bulbs on a UV map one after another (diagonally, or grid-shaped).

IMPORTANT: You also MUST make all the wires vertex colors black and light bulbs vertex colors white.
