Need help in material creation

prsahu

Hi,
I want to create a material which emits projector like lights which are rotating. I want also to have particles in the light. Here is an example of what i want.

Here is what i was able to achieve till now.




Please help me out.
Thanks in advance!!

Hey, I cannot see the image. It should be posted like this in case you wrote something wrong:

Thanks passerby

So, you are making something like this, right?



I'd use a tapered cylinder instead of a cone. That way you can have tiling UVs(unwrap as a regular cylinder) so the panner will work much better.

In addition, I'd use the emissive input of the material, change the blend mode to additive and change lighting model to unlit.

You can add some vertex offset movement(using world normals) to make the light shafts look like moving inside the cone and not just on it's surface as a detail too.

You can try some random-emissive thing with particles according to the particles' colors and time.

Thanks passerbyb & EmAr.
Changing the lighting & blend model helped.

I have a problem though. The bottom rim of the cylinder shows up a rim. How can i remove that?

Ah it's a problem with the texture wrapping is my guess. Try going to the properties of your texture and change the V to clamp.

imbueFX that was absolutely correct. Thanks!!
How do you know this??

Haha, thanks EmAr

I only know this problem because I run into it so much, it's quite the annoyance.
