Ships omni light

[SVKSniper]

Today i make omni lights for my carrier...export and in MW i see and lights work...but in sim doesnt work....Can we say someone from ED why the omni lights are not working correctly???

Did you tried at night time ?

 

You also need textures with alpha to simulate the light rays all over your object ;)

I used the lights from the temptextures folder... They seem to work.

 

In user Define I have

TYPE = "fake_lights";

In the materials editor I have

 

Material - fake_omni_lights

 

Opacity - Blend

 

Remember the size of the plane is the size of the light.

 

Still trying to figure out on how to animate the lights...

Where are the lights saved??

 

In max or in the mods textures folder?

Joey i send you PM......

Is your question:

How do you make the usual little lights work WITHOUT using the bano method?

 

What is the argument needed to have the lights turn on?

 

or both?

 

 

Someone remind me about this tomorrow.

I would like to know how to make lights work without the bano method....and now i make lights with arg.69 the same for runway lights(first screen from MW)......

[luckybob9]

Have you tried the spline method? Or just the square planes with alpha texture?

LB i send you PM.....

My set up for ship lights are as follows

 

Diffuse 100%

Self illumination 100%

Opacity 100%

 

Spec level 100

Glossiness 100

 

Set to self transparent illumination, material linked to a plane shape on 3dx max.

 

make 3 plane shapes that way the light is visible from different angle or add a 2 sided option or "billboard" so that its always facing while you look at it from any direction.

Also add omni lights and link them to your plane shapes and ARG# so that the omni light illuminates the surroundings according to your liking,im sure there are better ways but this is how I go about doing this.

I'm facing problem trying to setup the lights of my projects.

I would like to create the front and rear car lights, with the bloom effects while looking from the front, like it's done on the IA traffic car for example.

 

 

I'm pretty noob in 3D modelling, I've already setup my model with "basic" texturing etc....but I can't figure out how to create the lights. Can you tell me the exact step ( maybe with screen of 3ds max ) to recreate this king of lights in game?

 

Thanks
