Light material (works as normal lights, like LED's) confirmed!

Archive: 21 posts


You can see them in the trailer, they blink on and off, and are in different colours...
They happen at 00:44 and 01:44, and maybe some other places.

Is this a material like cardboard, but with lighting abilities? I dunno, but I want to find out!

EDIT:
IT IS CONFIRMED!!!

This is indeed a lighting material, the reason why they blink on/off is because there's a switch hooked up to them, and it must be some sort of metal or so.2010-05-25 17:47:00

Or just lightning objects. Disco Floor ftw!
Though Litening Material would be great for fluffery.

Did anyone else notice that the 8-bit sackboys in the trailer are completely lit up? I sure hope this is a light material that be drawn into any shape, or maybe a tool that can make any material glow.2010-06-03 22:40:00

Merged threads.... mostly because I wanted to see how it works (grr @ moderator training wheels).

TBH, I'm surprised this hasn't gotten more attention. It's a pretty awesome feature if you ask me!

Is this some kind of subliminal message? :eek:

This does sound pretty cool actually, I think the message behind this, is that we'll get a load of new materials that switches can be connected to, 44 of them perhaps?

I suppose it's gotten so little attention because we know next to nothing about them (are those floor lights pre-made objects, or are they representative of a new, tweakable, glowing material?), and because most of us have been so excited about microchips, sackbots, and dcs's. I am a bit curious about it though. Does it actually cast light on surrounding objects, or does it just glow on its own. If that didn't make sense, compare any of the "glowing" decorations (torch, etc) and sackboy parts (glowing eyes, devil skin, etc.) to an actual led with the the global lighting turned all the way down. You'll see that the led actually lights up its surroundings, but the glowing things don't.

I've done a some tinkering with 3d graphics and a tiny bit the Unreal Tournament 3 editor, and based on those, I would speculate that a glowing material almost certainly does NOT cast any actual light on its surroundings, as it could quickly become a nightmare for the engine to render. On a similar note, it would be nice if Mm gave us lighting options similar to Unreal3 or 3d graphics proggies: you can create a light object (not a physical led or anything--just the light that gets cast) and place it in your level. Instead of trying to hide leds in your level, you could just add some light to a particular spot (sort of like the sourceless light trick (https://lbpcentral.lbp-hub.com/index.php?t=25258-Sourceless-lights-invisible-spikes-and-a-couple-other-tricks-UPDATED-4-29), but without having to use a glitch).

YES................


Or just lightning objects. Disco Floor ftw!

.............YOU


Although, RagTagPwner does have a good observation of those 8-bit sackboys. They look just like they could be a thin layer of a new lighting material ?????

Lets hope so hey

EDIT: Actually I just noticed thin strips of the material at the back of the dancefloor scene (on the wall) that look exactly the same as the floor. So think this is definitely a material now

Thats what I was hoping for, but you can never know for sure, unless the Mighy One (aka Alex Evans) tells you so.
If it turns out to just be blocks and not a material, remind me to laugh at you all

I think that this would be in the Neon Propaganda levels I've heard about D: you know when the giant fist comes up with all these other machines, there are a bunch of other pictures with glowing materials in it but I don't know if its actually that glowing material on the floor or if they're like the VR material in MGS pack, you can take a look for yourself:
