    In Blender, I'm creating a building for Railworks. How can I make signs and windows light up at night, but also react to sunlight in the daytime?

    This may help ...

    Day / Night Lighting Effects

    Some building types require a night-time effect, to simulate the lights being switched
    on at dusk. This is done through node names where the node names themselves will
    dictate whether they are visible in the day or at night.

    · Node names ending with “fx_night” will only be drawn at night.
    · Node names ending with “fx_day” will only be rendered in the day.

    Make two copies of your sign.

    The daytime version using regular shaders like TrainBasicObjectDiffuse

    And the other using an emissive shader like TrainEmissiveGlow or AddATex

    Give them the names above, eg 1_1000_fx_night, and 1_1000_fx_day

    I wouldn't make two copies of the entire building. Just make a day and night version of the signs and windows. See Dev Docs 4.04 Section 5

    1. I think you may have the wrong version of Briage. It looks like you are using Blender 4.1. Try the BRIAGE 4.11 Package here
