Hello! I've seen some amazing neon lights from pictures via Google. I wanted to take the text from these lights and make them into custom lights for my game; something like neon light signs or what not. I just don't know where to start. Can someone direct me in order to tutorials on how to make these lights work? I've never worked with making custom lights for I mainly work with game base conversions and recoloring. Thanks in advance!

PixelHeaux definitely start from - cloning as similar as possible looking EA light, maybe few similar ones and study they meshes in blender and how they textures has done you will see which one is close enough to what you planing to do.

I haven't found an EA light similar to what I'm doing. I'm making, or wanting to make, text lights.

PixelHeaux how about those neon wall sighs and wall decals that not actually in a light category but acts as light anyway. All of it will gives you light effect, they will not light up whole room but they good enough for the text lights, and if you look at them closely in blender and the way how they textures works you will see first and second row is build differently, you must decide what is closer to your project. Or you can use as a clone some of a wall light if your text going to be on the wall, you must just study everything that gives you any light in game and belong to the right surface (wall,ceiling, floor, table) Do you have a plan how is your neon letters will looks like in game? Flat or they will have a body, will they have any base...? If you will use wall light as a clone keep in mind that the part that gives you light in game will still gives you light even if you change its mesh from sphere to a letter shape or even a whole sentence. You will have to do new mesh for your neon text and probably new texture too. Here is lots of tutorials about how to start the project, I would read them all... I actually did)
