Eksi's Unique Lights

176 KB, 11 years ago, submitted by Eksi

Some unorthodox lights I put together for my own usage, for which I quickly received many requests to release.

BIG IMPORTANT NOTICE
In this light pack, there are two kinds of lights: (AMB), and (IMG). The AMB lights are ambient, meaning they only give off light. The IMG lights are ONLY the flare images.

"WHY WOULD YOU DO THIS EKSI WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU"
1. Having both the light and the flare in the same datablock discolors the flare.
2. This allows you to have many light "sources" without actually interfering with the effect of light from the ambient, actual sources. See the screenshots for examples.
3. I rarely want the light emitted to actually come directly from the brick on which the source lies. Previously, this meant I never had any flare images.
4. Providing a combined section would take more datablocks, make the look of the flares between emitting and image only inconsistent, and make the pack 50% more bothersome to amend.

"I DON'T LIKE THIS EKSI IN FACT I THINK I HATE IT"
Again, this was originally just for my personal use. Feel free to not use it.

"Why make a separate ambient light for every single light? Some of these could be combined."
Each light has a slightly different color and brightness which matches the flare from which it's meant to emit. Having the same name also makes matching them up that much more simple.


V1:

12 ambient lights
12 corresponding flare image lights
half-size versions of these

- Ana. blue ("ana." = short for anamorphic)
- Ana. yellow
- Horiz. blue
- Blue-rays
- Blue 3
- Blue bright
- Diag. yellow
- Teal multi
- Neutral star
- Normal 20
- Vert. yellow
- White spectrum

These have large tags (e.g. "Eksi (AMB) 1/2 - ") in the light selection list. A pet peeve of mine has been not knowing which pack a light in the list belongs to, and not reaching the part of the list I want to find quickly.
