It seems we don't see as many WIPs in this forum as we used too, so I thought I'd share a WIP I'm working on for a short-form animation. The theater is closely based on one in my hometown, though I changed the name. I modeled the neon, and gave it a glow material, then I assigned aura effects to those parts, and turned on skylight and indirect lighting. I gave a glow material to the lamp, and an aura, and used a bulb to throw some light below. On the ceiling above the ticket booth I used AnythingGlows. I like the illumination it casts.

 I still have to add other building fronts, people, cars, and other details. I'm thinking of adding a displacement to the street to make some potholes with puddles in them. Any comments, or crits are welcome.
Thanks, Edmund
