Coasterfreaks: Recolorable Lights Tutorial

[Coasterfreak]

 Hello Again everybody! Here is a quick step by step tutorial on how to make recolorable lights in the importer. Good Luck! 




For one make sure it says light1 in the importer, in the "edit model settings" see below:


 The blue circled area on the right is where you sould see "light1". Now click on the red circled "A". Now you should have "light1" on the left in the box on the left were the blue circle is. see below:


Now double click on the blue circle "light1" and a new window will appear. now click on the yellow "STAR" in the green circled area and then highlight the word light, and then another box to the right will pop up, and click on the red circle area that says "START" see below


 A new window will pop up again, and in the "OPTIONS" click and scroll down, and click on the "CUSTOM COLOR 1" in the red circled   area, then click "OK" see below:


The "EFFECT POINT" window should appear, and click on "(CUSTOM)" in the red circled area, then click "OK" again. see below:


 Once you have all of you dots in green then go ahead and click "OK" again and finish importing as normal!

P.S. If you don't want the light to shine too bright, then where it says "RADIUS" under the word "COLOR" then you may reduce that number, if you want it to be brighter, then enlarge the number! (Fourth picture down)

  Good luck! I hope this helps you! if I was wrong about anything, PLEASE let me know, I have been doing too much with different lightings, so if I am wrong, then somebody PLEASE correct me, and I will redo this tutorial properly! Thank You!

thnaks for the tut C-Freak! has been very useful!

[Coasterfreak]

thanks bro! I will be making a (basic) animated texture tutorial in the next couple of days! So be on the look-out.

[Pyrofreak30001]

Thanks for the tut it helped alot!

BTW: Animated textures are surprisingly easy!

[Coasterfreak]

Glad that this tutorial helped you out P-freak!

  Yes, animated textures are easy, just too time consuming when you have alot of textures you want to animate, plus all the colors, and sequencing.....

[Pyrofreak30001]

Yay! Your tut has let me successfully make a recolorable light on my very first try. 

[Coasterfreak]

YAY! That's what it is here for my friend! Good job on your first try! Now let's see some pictures, lol.

Did you mean in your thread!?

If so.....

The positioning of the light is a little off, but It should be easy to fix.




The light is recolorable I just had it on white.

Nicely done P-freak30001! It looks like you have the light on the yop of the pole instead of in the middle of the ball. Lego3366 had a similar problem his first time with his light, but it was off squared. Once you get this down, then try for the recolorable torch!




YES! You can recolor torches too. Man I think once peeps get the hang of making lights, and recolorable lights, and torches, then we will see more of them in their sets! lol

 P.S. I don't mind anybody showing me their work in my tutorial threads. This way if they have a problem with their object then it's better to show it, then they can get help, or advice!

 Ok, this may be wierd, but looking at my own tutorial here, my recolorable lights aren't working correctly.   It may be because my computer is on the fritz, or it may be my importer. So right now I can't make recolorable lights.
