Beacon color change and animation.
Hi, does anybody know how to create custom lightbars and colors. I am working on a truck and would like to add beacon lights and bars .
Any help would be of great assistance.

Re: Beacon color change and animation.
That is a very general question. What did you need help with?

FYI: this is where the game beacons are...

Re: Beacon color change and animation.
Do you want to add the beacons from the game onto the truck?
Do you want to create beacons from scratch?
Do you know how to use Blender?
Do you know how to use Giants Editor?

I would like to know how to create custom light bars in blender and put them onto a truck in the giants editor.

I know the basics of blender and giants editor.
Re: Beacon color change and animation.
Okay, good. I would start by looking at the beacons in the game (link above). Look at one of the beacons in GE, and the xml in Notepad++, and get a basic understanding of how they work.
Next, make the models in Blender. I would import the car and one of the game beacons as a size reference.

Also, if you want the blinky LED type of beacon, the Lindner Lintrac 130 has an example of that.

Also do you know how to add the pressure washing effect onto a truck or trailer.

Also sometimes I can get a car or tractor into GE but they won’t open in the blender even though they are the right file type and size
Re: Beacon color change and animation.

Re: Beacon color change and animation.
I did that
Re: Beacon color change and animation.
You did that, and it worked? Because I have never had an obj GE export fail to import into Blender.
