I have illuminated one of our substation models with color changing lights for a beautification project in town.
Station sits right smack in the middle of upscale condos & apartments so they wanted to make it either disappear, or highlight it somehow.
I built a light fixture with a rotating color disc which I controlled using positional reps.
Within Studio, I created a local light within the fixture.

I positioned several of these light fixtures around the perimeter of the station then within Studio, animated the positional reps to get a color changing effect. The effects were realistic enough to determine where the lights needed to be placed, and their respective intensity.

Here's a shot of one of my renders, and an actual photo of the completed lit station for comparison.


Here's a link with some photos & video of the completed project.
