Description:

Rev your engines ladies and gentlemen!

This is a racing "christmas" tree used in drag racing, to use in your drag strips. Unfortunately I wasn’t able to get certain lights light up using texture illumination, but in real life a racing tree is used to start and control the race, it’s kinda like those lights in F1 but with a few different things.

There are two lines on a drag strip, when the cars reach the first line, pre-stage bulbs turn on and activate the tree. Then cars move on to the second line, start line, and stage lights turn on. When both cars are ready, yellow bulbs light up from top to down one after another. At green light, obviously, race starts. If a car starts the race before the green light turns on, then red lights will light up and the racer will be disqualified.

Yes yes I know, pics show an illegal street race and you don’t use these in a street race (at least not a pro one) but I didn’t have time or knowledge to build a strip. At least we get some po-po action here!

Technical Details:
3220 tris – 512×512 textures
LOD auto-generated

Also does anyone know how to use texture illumination on props? I tried using i maps but didn’t work :’)
