So you say you want some realistic streetlighting on your route? Well, I'll give you that chance with this content pack. In this streetlight pack, I plan to make simple streetlights on a wooden pole. Just your basic streetlights on a wooden pole, streetlights from many different decades. Many different versions of light on many different types of mast. The neat thing about these streetlight poles are that they fit into my power poles from my Power Pole Pack. So you can mix and match any light with any pole...or, you can just use the pole by itself as a stand alone light. I did this by making the light pole model just a bit smaller (thinner) then the power poles. Once the light pole is placed inside the power pole, you can adjust the height to your own liking. Just add a point light for your ground light pool, and you are set to go with some realistic streetlighting. If you ask me this was far past due in this sim. I'll post more samples as I build them.
Let's not forget the classic radial wave streetlight! One of my favorites. Tried to give it that incandescent color look.
I have the first four street lights done in this second pack. Since I'm getting familiar with making these street lights in Blender, I'm testing the settings inside Blender. It's become a real learning experience for me. Some of these street lights were more tricky to make then I originally thought they would. The NEMA Bucket Light at the far right had some challenges with it due to being textured on both sides. I also had to use some modifiers in Blender to get the shape right with less polys. I'm also testing the lights with the power poles. I'm pretty happy with the progress. It's actually even a little fun! More to come.
