Hi all,

 

I'm working on some scenery and have got a bit stuck in regards to the HDR lighting.

I was pointed in the direction of "Resources/bitmaps/worlds/lites/lights.txt" which is great and i managed to get some street lights working but most of what i tried just didn't work and didn't generate an error message (or not that i could find).

Does anybody have a tutorial?

 

I'm trying to light up buildings mainly but don't want the big spill i get with the street lights so any tips of which lights to use and how to get the spill size to change also any easy way on placing/aligning the lights.

 

Thanks

Paul

I think you are looking for this:

with the LIGHT_PARAM you can control color, size , direction etc...

Thanks for that, i had already read it. I guess its back to trial and error.
