Title: [tut] Placing 2dfx light on your custom object
Post by: Sebastian on Jun 01, 2018, 10:54 PM
Hey there!
I was gonna place some 2dfx lights today, and I was like "why not recording a tutorial?"
I'm pretty sure there are a lot of guys not able to, so this will help them out.

BLENDER (https://www.blender.org/) software will offer you the needed coords.

Quote from: vitogta on Jun 02, 2018, 07:10 AMActually you can find coords just by shooting object then calculate local object coords from world coords without any third party software.

Yeah, you are right; Why don't you record a video about that, so people can choose ? :)
Let's do more tutorials guys, so everybody will know how things works and what alternatives they have.

Tbh you can also place the object at (0,0,0) and find it's offset for it's light.

You are right. indeed. That must be the most basic way to do it, without any math operations.
But, getting newbies used to such a program, might push them to more than just placing a light. :)
You never know.
