@TMarc: I was thinking about white too! And about black, you mean as if the sign is just off, right? I already did that with some of my packages. Going to be in this one too.

yeah
cool thanks

I also made the signs a little darker! This way I don't have lighting problems when using the signs in night mode, and the package won't need a daytime and nighttime version now!

I also added purple and turquoise!

Omg can't wait
Some will be animated?

Looking at some animated led signs, I had an idea...
I created a track in Canyon that has a waterfall (across a lake so it's not really obvious what it really is) and it looked quite nice. I went out and photographed a local waterfall and shot it at 10 frames per seconds. Then created a sign using the photos and applied it to a stack of block #3-7-3 (I think) (The big block sign). Then kind of hid the edges with cliffs and trees. It looked kind of cool in the distance un-animated, but the animation and color was too far off to use and look good. I think it would look better created by hand (CG-animated) rather than photographed.
I consider Elmigo to be the "Sign Authority" here so I'll ask it here, Has anyone tried doing an animated waterfall sign yet, and does someone think they could take it on and make it look good? It would need to look good stacked with seamless flowing and also look seamless side by side. Of course they would never look realistic up close but from a distance...

The whole package is going to be animated!

I just discovered a quick and VERY easy way to do this using Photoshop!

I actually don't really think this would be a good idea, because when you're driving you are actually close up to these signs and you will see how fake it is. A real waterfall (maybe an animated block or so) would be the perfect solution! Or blockmix the waterfall sign between some rocks or mountains so you won't see the sides of the sign. This would help a lot I think! I have never tried it though...

RAINBOW LED ANIMATED *BETA*

The BETA of the Rainbow LED Animated package has started. You can now download the free BETA testing package (no locator files included) at the first post (go there).
