Colorful Roppongi

[Groshyr]

dx8 has limit of three light sources. If you add more, they will randomly appear-disappear on models. In fact, the best you can do is combinate ambient and light sources, placing them the way they will drop light from different sides. For the model yourself you can use glowmaps (glowing materials) and copies of the same model with different materials. That's the best I can imagine right now. As long as Freelancer remains dx8, there is no much can be done about it but finding way to utilise its limitations in our favour - the game is still nice and can be eyecandy, Treewyrm proved that very well with his Nomad effects and models and many more, it just needs a careful approach, otherwise it will be horrific experience with eyes burnt of colour spaghetti.
