WIP furniture / lights library

Comparison using lights with no textures. The lights vary from 40 to 5 in diameter. I'm not seeing a difference.



I've added a texture. Still not seeing a difference.

Hello Silvercat,
Thank you and congratulation for your work!
I like these street lamps and globes. Could you share them when you'll have finished?
Thanks in advance.

That's the plan! I got them off of various free places - CGTrader, Sketchup Warehouse, and Archive3d - but of course it's a lot easier to use them after I've gotten them cleaned up and added lights.

Another comparison - brightness as controlled by the color. I'm just going to give the first digit since all six are the same. From left to right the colors are F(white) D B 9 7 5 3 1. All of them have the default settings, so 50% light power, and the light is centered in the globe.

I'll be testing some colors next, but having the desired brightness should make getting the correct color easier - pick the brightness then go right in the color picker to get the tint.

Here are the four dimmest (7 5 3 1) at 100% light power.

Here's the last of the comparison stuff - Colors!



All of these are the same lightness (99) but different colors. All I did was pick the brightness I wanted and then move right in saturation.





Here's what happens if you use the same color at different saturations.



This is, from right to left, 9c8800, 988b36, 99936e, 999999



You can see that until you get very saturated the color value is overpowered by the brightness.

If you want to play with this yourself, I have a furniture library with four textured globes and four untextured globes. Also in the folder are .dae files of the globes. Google drive link

Some work in progress lights. I haven't added the light properties to these yet.







This last one has a bunch of material zones so people can customize it.

Some of the lights are done. The rest I need to figure out the color still.

[silvercat17]

The first batch of lights is done!





You can download the furniture library and some textures on my Google Drive .

There's also a folder with a whole lot of translucent glass textures.
