Re: WIP furniture / lights library
Hello Silvercat, Thank you and congratulation for your work! I like these street lamps and globes. Could you share them when you'll have finished? Thanks in advance. V

That's the plan! I got them off of various free places - CGTrader, Sketchup Warehouse, and Archive3d - but of course it's a lot easier to use them after I've gotten them cleaned up and added lights.

Another comparison - brightness as controlled by the color. I'm just going to give the first digit since all six are the same. From left to right the colors are F(white) D B 9 7 5 3 1. All of them have the default settings, so 50% light power, and the light is centered in the globe.
I'll be testing some colors next, but having the desired brightness should make getting the correct color easier - pick the brightness then go right in the color picker to get the tint.
Here are the four dimmest (7 5 3 1) at 100% light power.

Here's the last of the comparison stuff - Colors!
All of these are the same lightness (99) but different colors. All I did was pick the brightness I wanted and then move right in saturation.
Here's what happens if you use the same color at different saturations.
This is, from right to left, 9c8800, 988b36, 99936e, 999999
You can see that until you get very saturated the color value is overpowered by the brightness.
If you want to play with this yourself, I have a furniture library with four textured globes and four untextured globes. Also in the folder are .dae files of the globes. Google drive link

Re: WIP furniture / lights library
Thanks for this nice collection! Could you give details about the license you agree to distribute it (Free Art License or CC-BY License or both or another license)? The best would to write it also in the PluginFurnitureCatalog.properties included in the SH3F file in a license property as in this example (id, name, description, version, license and provider properties are read and saved by the Furniture Library Editor when they exist).
