Building with illusion of see-thru lit glass windows

Tillietwos · Feb 27, 2017

Hi there, I was playing around with one of my buildings this weekend and came up with a little trick that makes windows look like they are lit up from the inside. I recoloured one of the neon lights and placed it behind a window and it gave the effect that lights were on inside the building. Depending on the placement, it looks like their are blinds in the windows as well. Not sure if anyone else has done this but thought I would share with you all. Would love to hear your feedback on this. Thanks.

Very nifty! I've been using regular lights and had never thought of using signs

Glad you both like it. Wowman, I used the small square (blue) and played with the colours until I found one that I thought looked good. You have to sink it into the wall as far as you can with it disappearing and also it doesn't work with some of the window types we have. You just need to play around with it a little.

Good morning everyone. I've added another creation to my workshop using the Lit window technique and wanted to share it with you all. Let me know what you think. Thanks

What a nifty trick! I hope lit up windows is something Frontier will be able to do in the future.

Thank you all so much for your comments. I really appreciate hearing your feedback. Cerealfruitcakes, I too really hope we get lit windows in the April update. It adds so much to the buildings. Thanks again everyone
