Before we start, you need to have a scene with geometry and at least one light. You can also download the example provided; open the project in Unity and go to the folder Chapter 02 Working with the animation viewRecipe 01 Using the animation view to create a flickering light. You will find a scene called Example.unity there, with a point light that has already been animated.
