Night texture light post

[Larry_M]

I would like to create a light post that produces a cone of light to light up a fence below. Can someone explain how that cone of light is created in the night texture?

Thanks,
Larry

For just the cone of light, I would make polys, with the light post model, in a circle on the ground, and possibly some in a cross shape, similar to the tree models, from the bulb to the ground. The day texture would alpha out the light, while the night texture would have it.

That's interesting, I never thought of that! I was thinking of the entire cone. What would be the material name used in the case of the cone or the ground poly?

i was having an idea on this, have the ground circle, but instead of the cone, how about taking the fence section under the light and make the night texture half bright in the area of the ilumination so that it looks like it lights up
