Throwing light on assets in night mode.

[jjanmarine3]

Hi guys.
For the learning curve - Is there a way to place an asset like a locomotive and then place say a tall lamp post , yard light or similar near it so the light falls on the locomotive or asset , or will it have to be a stand alone creation or something to that effect ?

That is possible if the locomotive is not intended to move anywhere. If it is, the process would involve creating a night-mode mesh for the locomotive.

For other types of assets like buildings, that should do the trick.

The locomotive is the only asset than can actually cast light, and illuminate other assets. This question has been asked many times, and if I recall correctly someone had made an invisible locomotive and placed it on a pole.

Cool ! I want to look for that thread, should be interesting.

I tried to lift the ground up and place a light pole on top of the mound to illuminate a loco for my first screenshot.. I can't find a smiley for clever..
