How do I make taillights on an individual model redder? They seem too pink.

  • It's an ELS model that has "pink" tail lights...

    Is it just a texture I can redo in Photoshop?

    Any suggestions on editting the texture? I save as PNG file but wondering what I should consider when making the changes.

  • Editing the texture in photoshop (or any other photo editing software) would definitely address the issue.

    Another thing to consider is texture compression and mipmaps, as they could also cause weird issues. There are guides available under the guides tab here, I recommend taking a gander.

    I have the DDS plugin. But not sure what format to select when saving the file... the Guides don't indicate that.

    For brakelight textures.

  • This is an interesting tool.

    I'd recommend using paint.net as it's more convenient for texture editing. You should export as .png or .dds, and I'd recommend keeping the initial texture compression (as it was originally).

  • I finally fixed the tailight. Thank God - it took tons of trial and error.

    Only issue is how do I remove the other blurry emissive? or at least make it smaller or something? it looks very weird.

    The blurred emissive is the taillight dummy, which emits the lights for the taillights.

    You could just move it into the headlight and make any edits to it via the carcols if necessary.

    if I move it into headlight, will it make the headlight red?
