Hmm, what lighting to use...

benjy355 · 06-03-2007, 08:24 PM

I'm building a small room with Combine style lighting, and well... I have no idea how to make combine lights look as awesome as they do. (IE... All of them)

The color, spot, normal? Sprites...

-Thanks mb

Actually, usual Combine lighting is 147 226 240, but try here, and scroll down to where it says "Techniques" and it gives several values.

I see... But that sprite lighting effect... All the sprites point down, and as far as my skizzlizels go, I can't rotate sprites.

Edit: >_> They used point_spotlight?

That, or they used light_dynamics, which would give lights and sprites.

Lighting is integral part of the overall theme for the map! Here are some really good tutorials on how to use light:
