First of all, greeting to everyone, and thanks for taking some time for this.
I am really interested in the not-so-easy but fine art of lighting, I think lighting is something that gives life to an enviroment and I notices from the first day I played WoW that it lacks good lighting.
I am experimenting with lighting in wow because I want darkness, in WoW nights aren't dark enough. By now I know how to modify enviromental light (right nowI have Azeroth in the deepest darkness except inside buildings naturally. However a problem appeared, there are no lights outside! Even when there are lamp post everywhere there's no light at all!
This leads to my question, is there a way to add light to models such as street lamps? or to increase light radius given by off-hand items likes torches or lamps? I'm really excited with my project of "realistic nights" and would appreciate any help.
I would post a screenshot of my achievements so far, but this is my second post in the forums (3 are required to post links).
EDIT: So now I have 3 posts. Here are two screens. First one, pitch black "world in darkness":
and second, dark but not black, a little better for late at night, but as you can see, the issue of no light giving objects, and my lamp gives almost no light.
