Hello --

We're using Multigen for modeling and want to show lights on in
building at dusk/dark.

I know that the performer loader for .flt files ignores the object
inhibit flags (objects should/should not be rendered at certain times
of the day). I think I remember a Performer demo (town?) which shows
lights in buildings turning on at dusk/dark and off (or appear to be)
during the day. Our town.flt file doesn't appear to have those
attributes, though.

Should the buildings' windows be modeled with emissive properties
that are visible at night and not during the day (even though they're
really there)?

Any help would be appreciated...

Thanks...
