Lighting A Model

[The Dark Shadow]

This is more of a general doom 3 question though it does have some relevance here. Suppose you have one of the traditional street lamps from Thief which has 4 yellow sides to it, how do you create a light source that lights these sides up in addition to the other area the light is lighting up e.g. similar to this screenshot:

 

 

Thanks!

Not to be rude, but haven't you been using the editor for over a year now? I'm rather shocked that you're asking such a basic question. The illuminated glass is a texture, and as for the light...you just have to make it large enough to cover the area you want to illuminate....just like any light.

 

I suggest reading any available tutorials on Doom3world.org.

I understand lighting fine, I was looking at a solution which involved a point light with a modified origin / center, so the need for 2 textures was gone.

 

My idea was coming from several lighting tutorials on doom3world regarding light binding.

There's nothing like that in the screenshot you posted.

This forum software seriously needs a LVLSHOT tag.

 

Or more clueful posters.
