    Hi Starbounders,

    @Jareix Cryvix and I would like to know what the process is for creating a "lit" ship image. We need the opacity difference and such. If someone could leave either a detailed or quick tutorial on how to make the image. Thank you :)

    Copy your ship image. Open it in your editor of choice.

    Select everything you DO want illuminated, whcih is usually everything but the ship interior and walls. Change its opacity to like 50%, thats what I use. More opacity means MORE visibility.

    While this layer is called the "lit" layer, it is actually the under layer that is flagged for "full bright". The "lit" layer just masks what you DONT want illuminated, and by making it semi transparent, you are allowing some of that under layer to show through.
