GTA V Default lighting Guide Final


4 Screenshots

--GTA V Default Lighting Car Info--

I took the liberty of going through each vehicle and looking at what it takes to actually 
make the default lights work on each car. It took a while to do and I figured it would make 
it easier for you guys to actually make GTA V police cars.

-This has no example models in it, and are the steps that i use every time i set up lights on a
new vehicle.

-Not all of the vehicles that are in GTA are done, some like the policeb have the most stupid
steps i've ever seen, so some of them are possibly incomplete.

-This is not a conversion guide, simply a lighting guide.

-Please dont message me on how to do the lighting. I have included the entire list of steps.

-ONLY MESSAGE ME IF YOU CAN'T DO IT AT ALL. IF YOU SEND ME A MESSAGE OR POST
A COMMENT ASKING ME HOW TO DO IT, I WILL SIMPLY SAY READ THE READ ME.

-I'm also releasing this so that people understand how to make models, and in hopes of 
people releasing quality models.

Please enjoy and happy modding!

if i may ask, why specifically top view when scaling the lights? ive never heard of it being done before

So it scales downwards, and you have no issues

i never had any problems with the scaling and i usually scale from the left viewport, so i can see both the dummies and the mesh.i then usually scale it back to make sure it scaled correctly.

although sometimes the lights wont line up/work ingame, but they are still scaled right, idk how to fix it atm

Trust me, scale from top view. I used to be like you and scale from wherever and my lights wouldn't line up sometimes, I scaled from top view and bam.

You place the emissive where you want it to flash, compound it as an extra that you want and volla, you have working lights.
