so basically putting point lights in every part? that’s very simple

this is not a property of point light or at least it says on the Hub

The way I made it a bit better is that is changes the brightness of the light depending on the part size. It gets the average of all the part sizes, then divides it by a high number and sets the light brightness to that. I keep range at one number.

what i meant by y size is, u could calculate the range of light by dividing the parts y size

where are these models from?
every part in the workspace?

how did you make the spheres not look wierd?

Glass houses map from roblox, its a classic
For each part it gets the x, y, z and then averages it

here’s the code
-- once u paste this in a script make an attribute on the script and name it "outlines"
for i, v in pairs(workspace:GetDescendants()) do
if v:IsA("Part") then
local light = Instance.new("PointLight")
light.Parent = v
light.Shadows = true
light.Brightness = math.ceil((v.Size.X + v.Size.Y + v.Size.Z)*1.5)+1--math.round(((v.Size.X * v.Size.Y * v.Size.Z) * 1/3))
light.Range = 3
light.Color = v.Color
if (light.Brightness * 3) >= 100 then
light:Destroy()
end
end
end
you can customize what size parts get your point light
I tried it I think it came out pretty good it wasn’t very easy to get here also the thirds photo stairs are weird and idk on how to fix that also the last photo is with out the script.

what is that???
how did you make yours so clean?
I really only showed the places that look good with reflections. If I showed all of them it wouldn’t look as good
I think I did a kind of different way than this guy did but I forgot what

i know that but how did yours look so clean did you do something with lighting?

Oh, make sure you use future lighting instead of shadowmap. Future adds light reflections. Also make sure you graphics quality is very high.
it didnt work it didnt even look close it looked worse idk what you did to make it look so clean

I tried this and made my own script(its serverside)
it works best with full graphics and future lighting
later i’ll later add support for dynamic parts(parts that change size and color)
--[[updates:
Changed from pointlights to surface lights
--]]
task.wait(5)
local function light_constructer(part, side)
local light = Instance.new("SurfaceLight", part)
local avg_size = (((part.Size.X + part.Size.y + part.Size.z)/3))
light.Angle = 180
light.Brightness = 0.2
light.Color = part.Color
light.Face = side
light.Range = avg_size
end
local function bake_lights(part)
light_constructer(part, "Front")
light_constructer(part, "Back")
light_constructer(part, "Top")
light_constructer(part, "Bottom")
light_constructer(part, "Right")
light_constructer(part, "Left")
--light.Brightness = math.clamp((((part.Size.X + part.Size.y + part.Size.z)/3)), 1, 1.5)
end
local function check_v_is_acceptable(part)
if part.Name ~= "Terrain" then-- checks if its not a terrian
if part:IsA("BasePart") then-- checks if its a basepart
local average_size_of_part = ((part.Size.X + part.Size.y + part.Size.z)/3)-- gets average size
if average_size_of_part < 61 and average_size_of_part > 3 then-- checks if part is within the size limit
return true
end
end
end
end
function bake(int, part)
if check_v_is_acceptable(part) == true then-- checks if accepted
bake_lights(part)--adds lights
end
end
for i,v in pairs(game:GetService("Workspace"):GetDescendants()) do
bake(i, v)
end
P.S
it looks great with most maps

Set your graphics mode in studio to D3D11 instead of Automatic. If you have a low powered pc your graphics mode is automatically set to OpenGL which won’t render Future lighting.

Updated shaders with settings idk
without shaders
with shaders(no outlines)
with shaders and outlines
code:
