Re: Search luminous neon objects!

Nowhere as elegant as other projects, such as the ghost city,

Being reminded of the Ghost City project I did some nearly two years ago, I recalled doing a lot of research about the glow-effect. There was an old thread ( by Enko perhaps?) that had a link to the Sunflow renderer Bible. I remember I did a lot of this stuff, and created heaps of logos and neon signs - and ended up using only a fraction.

Anyway, searching through my backups I found that most of it was in Chinese, and that a lot had never been back up. But I found a few things that was not Chinese, like these neons. They are not very good, but I used some of them anyway...



... and I remember making combinations in order to get neon objects with different colours.
I have made a kind of reconstruction as an example:



I also found some of my logos - like the ones on top of the skyscrapers in the Ghost City.




The different sizes and qualities are because they are experiments, made over a period of several months.

If anyone think they can find any use for them, please, feel free to download.


Logos.sh3d



Neons.sh3d


To change the colour of any of the objects, just edit it in SH3D, and export the object with it's new colour. Change the illum to 0 in the .mtl-file, and re-import to SH3D.


The way I made these object was to first make Photoshop-files and do extrusions, and then import them into Verto Studio 3D, both to colourize them and to merge the extruded sides.
Then I edited the .mtl, as described elsewhere in this thread.
