You convinced me! Bought it last night as it's currently on sale on Steam

Sometimes you come across a Video for BeamNG that seems so outragous that it's awesome...would never have thought in my wildest dreams that you could do this in a Sim

I've often wondered when taken Screenshots in dim light if only there was another Light Source you could add into the scene to kick a little more reflective light into the shadows, much like using a Reflector in Photography.

BeamNG to the rescue, well kinda....the below scene was an idea I had to add extra light into a dark scene with the Rock Basher...all this is just playing around and exploring what BeamNG can do

1st screenshot with only the Rock Basher lights on to luminate the forground, very dark overall

2nd Screenshot I added a Stambecco vehicle to the left rear side with lights on to give a little rim light from the rear.

3rd Screenshot, added another Stambecco to the far right front side to add a little light to the front side body of the Rock Basher.

Below Screenshot shows positioning of Stambecco vehicles for extra lighting at the left and right sides

It would be awesome to have the ability to add extra moveable light sources in Photo Mode that can have the adjustability to produce extra Color / Diffuse / Spectular / narrow Beam lights to kick in that extra bit of Fill Light...only thinking out loud

Why, you may ask...because BeamNG is awesome and this kept me entertained for an hour and a half

Just when you think you've seen it all...absolutely amazing with high production value and great lighting, this is a creative person that has a handle on BeamNG

Another absolutely incredible Crash Simulation in BeamNG...a fantastic view

Having a try at adding some extra 'Lighting' into a scene...absolutely amazing what BeamNG can do...and I'm still a noob with a lot of learning to do

I first park up the car in a potential scene for a Screenshot, hit 'F11' to bring up 'World Editor'
Click 'Create Object' icon which will bring up another Tool bar...click on the 'Point Light' icon, drag into scene, then 'Close' tool bar by clicking 'Create Object' icon again.

Go to top Menu Bar, click on 'Window' and find 'Scene Tree' click to get list, use this to find your individual Point Lights, then go back to Window and click on 'Inspector' use this to adjust properties of each Point Light when selected.
Once all lights where placed and adjusted, press 'F11' again to exit World editor then open up 'Photo Mode' and compose the Screenshot.

Screenshot below shows the 3 'Point Lights' I placed in the scene illuminating the vehicle with extremely low no Sunlight to show 'Point Light' illumination.

Final Screenshot with the 'Time of day' slider adjusting the Sun (personal taste)

This is an absolute game changer for the Screen shot creater such as myself.
Time spent 5 hours learning to do it...loved every second

Can you add a new light to an already Saved 'Replay?...Yes you can

Below is a previously saved Replay and an existing Screen Shot taken from it.

Started the Replay and paused at approx the same moment as what I wanted to do is add a little reflective light to the front / face side of of the wrecked car and Truck.
Used a 'Spotlight' in 'World Editor' this time. (Same proceedure as above Post)

Really liking what you can do when creating Screenshots in BeamNG

Thoroughly enjoying 'Speed Runs' with various cars in BeamNG on Italy's 'Freeway Run - Route A'...it has challenging fast curves, some decent straights to open them up, a Tunnel, fantastic scenery and add a nice time of day lighting...just Magical

Setting up multiple cars to cruise around in, didn't all go according to plan

A known dangerous crash hot spot

...could not crash my much loved 'Civetta Bolide 320 GTR Group5'

Digging this retro looking 'Bruckell LeGran RACE'...not the fastest but goes alright.

My new favorite car (there will be a lot)...what a rad looking little car, love it...the 'Ibishu Miramar Race' getting stuck on the Beach in Italy

 

[M D Gourley]

Taking the 'Ibishu Miramar Race' out for a rally around Italy...stopped by the 'Docks' for some shots and continued around the bay.
I tip my hat to the Scene Artists, they did a fantastic job with Italy, as with all the maps in BeamNG, very picturesque
