Edit engine lights where they are located.
Here what i have been progressing on for the location of the lights & even some changes to the engine drive & new features i have added to make it more detail to the engine & vents.
Here is one of the engine drive vents , as you can see there are some highlighted red on the vents. those are the location where the LED lights are going to be placed. i'll be using single 1205 white SMD LED 5mm & some single 805 white LED 3mm tiny for those location. I have countersink those area as you can see in pic for to counteract for those LEDs to be mounted. both side of the vent are going to be mounted with LED white lights.
Next pic is one more LED light to be mounted right next to another vent as you can see in pic with the highlighted little red box next to the vent. I have done some modified to the vent aswell to make it looks more realistic like a vent & add more detail to the engine. from the main mesh there was no vent there just a texture look like a vent.
last edit engine pic is at the front of the engine , this one i have thought up my self when i was looking at the texture outline pattern on the front of the engine. I have done two vents like shape at the front of the engine to added two more LEDs where those vent shape thingy are to bring the ship alive & brighten up the front of the engine.The two square red box is where the LED is going to be mount.
I'm just roughly guessing but after calculating where the LEDs are going to be placed on the Normandy there is near about 120 white LEDs to the ship & the engine thrust glow is about 36 blue LEDs. Now that alot.
I'm still using some of daishi parts of the Normandy SR1 & most is my edit parts for the LEDs to be mounted.
Stay tuned. Next post is the built engine glow pics.
