Yeah, but over time you get that "ugly wax build up" which is the bane of housewives everywhere.

If it's a light source it means that it is made of glass, right?
Light doesn't have to come from the centre of an object. A little cube in the middle of the sphere (called a vhot) makes the light originate from there.
Here's another version of the pub sign, with better UV mapping of the light, and the gap has been reinstated and some little hooks added:

Hm, I always changed the light's offset values because I thought that was easier. :confused:
BTW I defined these offset values in my gamesys, something that LGS seems to have forgotten ...

If you're making the object yourself, or don't mind converting to 3ds and back, I think it's easier to add a vhot becuase it can be put in the right place very quickly. If you use offset values, you have to calculate them out or use trial and error. What matters is whatever you prefer. I'd probably use the offset if someone else made the object and didn't add a vhot, and I'm sure all of LGS's lights have vhots in the correct place.

I was talking about how the object would appear in real life. I don't understand anything about vhots....:o
Many thanks again! Actually I don't have any pub in my mission, I used that sign for a sort of inn. Its name and the names of the textures are different. Would you mind if I use it? Of course I'll give you credits.

I'm happy for you to use it and modify it if you want.

A masterpiece! Excellent.

Oh, seriously thank you for the Hammerite painting, it's awesome!
