need help with night time textures

[Janimation]

Well, from my experience, the textures can be painted as if they were day (normal) and the lighting should dictate the setting for the night.

Also on another note, for lighting. Use a low ambient light to get your base light, and for key areas of the scene, such as points of interest you would have a stronger light that is brighter.
Its all in the lighting :) hope that helps.

Thanks for writing. This is helpful. When you say "the lighting should dictate the setting for the night" if I was making a scene for about midnight I should have a bluer tint and softer drop shadows. Things like this?

Yea if you think about it in real life, the texture of things around you dont change at night do they? [Or at least I hope they dont!!! :eek:] The only thing which changes between night and day is the light, so texture as per normal and make the lighting create the feeling of night.
