Lighting without extra textures, and materials. Part II. The Blueprint
In the previous part I showed how to add an luminous bulb to the streetlight mesh. Now, we look how to create a switchable streetlight with blueprint. To minimize system requirement we use only static lighting.
The first ting is, select the mesh what you want to create a streetlight, press left click, select Asset Actions, and press right click on the Create Blueprint Using This... option.
|
In the popup windows select the folder what you want, and add a name for the Blueprint.
|
Now, open the Blueprint(Automatically open), click the Add Component menu, and select Spotlight.
|
Move and rotate the spotlight close to the bulb. Set mobility to static, intensity to 100 000, and visibility to false(important to the continue)
|
Go to Construction Script tab. Add a new Boolean variable(important! Not local variable) and set to public(eye icon)
|
Create a new map, add the Blueprint to it, and mark the switch variable on the Details panel(Right side)
|
Now, go to material, press a left click, and select create material instance.
|
Now, go back to Blueprint editor, select viewport tab, select the streetlight mesh, go to Details panel Lighting section, and mark Use emissive for static lighting checkbook.
|
Add a local variable, and set type to Material Instance Dynamic.
|
|
If you follow my instruction, you get same result. |

Lighting without extra textures, and materials. Part I.
This description alone is not enough for the lighting. It makes only an emission, and add glow. To get a usable streetlight please read the second part of this Blog Entry.
The first ting is, You must create a UV channel, and move The UV islands of the bulb in to the corner(for example: upper right corner) |
You must add a GenerateBand node to the material. It create a line onto the texture from its constants. |
Repeat the previous step, and add a Boolean constant to the direction switch parameter of the second GenerateBand node. |
Add a multiply node, to get the common area of the two GenerateBand node. This area covering the UV islands of the bulb. |
Quite poorly lit. |
To increase lighting strength, and set lighting color, you must add two multiply node. For usable lighting set the constant between 20-300. |
The end result. |
