Custom Made Lights Not Working


Recommended Posts

Hey guys,

Ive created some custom lights. I've reproduced what I found in existing lights. But theyre just not working and I'm sure I've just missed something basic. Please help.

Ive attached a file with one light from the VW library and 2 lights that I have created. Please tell me why they aren't showing up on the wall. Cheers guys!

You need to apply a non-shadow casting texture to the 3D geometry.

You can use the Default Instrument Texture or create your own.

Geometry without a texture will cast a shadow and won't allow the light to escape from the shape.
