jae Posted October 25, 2002 Share Posted October 25, 2002 How can I create that night time view of a skyscraper effect? Its the one where there are like rows of square lights but some of them are missing. I've been trying to create this effect forever. Jay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kid Posted October 25, 2002 Share Posted October 25, 2002 model the interior 1 room deep from the facade and put an omni light in some rooms but not all, this will give the look you're talking about. If it's only for a low detail background you could just make the image maps in photoshop to look like some lights are on and some are off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quizzy Posted October 28, 2002 Share Posted October 28, 2002 Or for even lower res, use a brick mapping and give it a percentage of holes... And put it on the self illumination or diffuse channel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
