Was recently building my newest workshop and designed it with a large, open space for the machines. I went to light it afterwards and I couldn’t come up with a way to do so without the gleam ceiling I ended up with. So what are the different ways you all use to light your builds? Secret embedded light techniques? Lattice chandeliers? Lots and lots of gleam?
Spill all your techniques and extra bonus points for screenshots.
I’ve been streaming building my storage on my Twitch channel. If you go back on a few of the videos, I share one of my ‘secrets’ of using a hidden light trick.
I saw something at around 3:40:00 on “Still Buildin’” with the refined gleam and iron and gold chisels, is that what you’re referring to? It looks really interesting, thanks.
I don’t have the pictures on my phone but you can do the same as Ovid did but instead of octogrid use wicker and leave the lamp as a square lattice. It looks pretty good
You can check my place and everything I’ve built there, I have different types of lights.
You can get there via TNT, PS and Ultima all of them say Omeyocan or via Guardian on biitula using the Maryx portal.
The screenshots don’t do the animated textures justice. If anyone’s looking for inspiration I’d suggest stopping by, there’s some great landscaping too.
Yea I only just saw this place posted in a discord last night and immediately went myself when I got the chance. I personally think this type of place needs to be more known and accessable to people because I had no idea how to make those cool lighting effects until coming here
@MrSgtPeppers maybe this would be a good sort of thing to get set up in New Oortian. To show the cross sections of how to make cool lighting as well.
It is subtle, you can match the gem colors with the torches, or mix it up to make combos. Also works if you flip it (with the outside corners beveled on top, inside done under)
It is still flat when you walk over it, and doesnt take up any space. As i do like my space! =D
@cjmarsh YES! Go look in the shop Huff and Puff… it’s in the Purple Hall of the Naughty Mall, right next door to Naughty Bingo, in iLLumiNaughty… I’m not on at the moment to send a screenshot, but he made some chandeliers that are super cool.
His shop is cool… especially at night without the light epic.
I like to hide gleam behind a foliage block. Only works in overgrown arias or walls with staggered snone/brick/foliage blocks. Not the most intense lighting but some times you want to keep it dim. Also exsperamenting with different colored gleam and foliage can result in some lovely lighting.
