Why Use Gobos in Blender?

1.Realism: Simulate natural effects like light through windows, tree shadows, or water reflections.

2.Atmosphere: Add mood and depth with patterns like rain, smoke, or clouds.

3.Creativity: Enhance storytelling with abstract or dramatic light effects.

4.Efficiency: Achieve complex lighting results quickly without manual setups.
