How can i replicate the effect in this image?
You can always use small neon parts placed on a gradient part.
but how do i space them out randomly?
You could use particles on Blender to randomise the location of each light.
I cannot recall the specific steps to do this since I rarely work with particles, but I would suggest randomising their location and importing this as a mesh, where you can then change the material to neon.
Use Xaxa’s Brushtool: Brushtool 2.1 - Roblox
Set the neon part as one of your presets and then activate the brush. Click and drag to “paint”, or you can just spam click around with a low radius to place the points manually. You can adjust or randomize the rotation, spacing, and so on.
Theres’s always ParticleEmmiter
s and math.random
.
I was going to say brushtool but I forgot the plugin name. Our lord fourpapa solved the problem.
Use the brush plugin, it allows you to rotate and place them randomly within a radius.
