I know Lightwave isn't an
archetectural modeling package but, using Lightwave is it possible to get an
accurate representation of the sign visibility at night?  According to the
responses I have gotten from the initial post this problem cannot be solved
with Lightwave.

Thanks, Bruce

No, I'm not trying to render a highway sign at night, but the problem is
representative of a question asked me by another Lightwave animator.

This should be pretty easy, really. Especially if he starts out with a
good photo (time exposure) of the sign at night as reference. He could
then create a sign object or objects with the different sizes, shapes, etc.
and even use the scanned photo as a background image. If he wanted to get
real fancy he could morph between the sign types in an anim. Since he's got
a reference photo, changing the light intensity, while not accurate to the
footcandle, should be close enough to give an idea of what it would look like.
