Ns_hera Lighting Query

X_z_0_r

I've been wondering, how is the lighting effect under the fan in the Ventilation hive achieved in ns_hera? You know the big fan on the celing in vent hive, the lighting shines through and is applied to the floor as the fan rotates. Is this just an animated texture on the floor or what?

guess its a rotating illusionary rendermode additive texture.
cool effect unless you search for light reflections of this.

There is a texture for a fan shadow, perhaps it's that

Ok thanks

Anyone know of a good tutorial on achieving a similar effect?

The effect is created by func_rotatings coated with the mentioned fan-shadow texture. Just look for a func_rotating tut of your choice, include the ns_hera wad, and you're set.

I beleive that is how they got it done, although I thought the fan shadow was in the original ns.wad
