Light Panels [Solved]

Heya there,

Been a while since I have last touched Hammer (due to university).

I am wondering how to create a light panel (Click for image). No...I am not on about a simple glass light, but a light panel.

Would I create it in the same way as the glass light? I have got the prop static already.

There are a few instances which Valve has given us in the instances/lights folder with these models. Try giving them a go.

Is there anyway to get it to look like the static prop I linked a pic of?

Try the "light_panel_64_*" instances.

And I'm not entirely sure what you mean by the last statement.

EDIT:

I made a derp. Forgot to disable the shadows for the static prop in the first place, making no light seep through. Also had increase the scale of the texture to lower the light level.

I guess some things are starting to come back to me...
