adding cloud animation to light
So I have a Point light, Im wanting to have it get the effect of a fire. Pretty much the light varys in all directions, brightness adjusts, etc. I was thinking of having a mask sort of thing ontop of the light that would be panning/animated ontop of the light. Im not sure if thats the best way to do it or if its possible. If anyone has some insight it would be very helpful!!
A simple and effective way of simulating the fire light is to make an animation on the light that controls the Intensity and the Color (not much).
I think it's a good start.
If you want to go further you can add multiple point lights (not much) and activate them ramdomly to make the shadows move.
while thinking about it, it couple work to give that flicker kinda of feel. the animation i was more looking for is similar to this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tVypgQorn6$$anonymous$$
If I understand you well, you will need light cookies to achieve this effect, then you can rotate the omni light to make it move. But I suggest to use the effect explained before for more realism.
