Neon Sign Generation Kit: High Quality 3D signs. For Asset Editor

Description
NOTE: This is not a normal set of Neon signs. This is for use in the ASSET EDITOR! It is useless in the game itself.

REQUIREMENTS: To use this, you must
1.) Know how to use the Asset Editor
2.) Know how to use Image Editing software like Photoshop or GIMP. (I use GIMP since it's free).

So, what is this? This is a kit with everything you need to make High-Quality 3-D Neon signs.
What is a High-Quality 3D Neon sign?
- The image/letters on the sign have depth, not just flat images.
- The sign frames have depth and complexity.

Normally, HQ 3D Neon Signs are hard to make, and result in HUGE file sizes. This method is easy, and results in 10X smaller files.

Signs made with this method will usually be around 300 to 600 "tris" in size.

You can access the needed files from my GoogleDrive here https://drive.google.com/file/d/1onfct5YNwuCrwsyJLgVKJUOIMqwIyeUg/view?usp=share_link
SUBSCRIBING to this asset will NOT get you the needed files (only a few example files).

NOTE: All the signs are 1-sided (invisible from the back). Only one sign (with "doublesided" in the name) appears from behind. That is the one limitation of this method.

Instructions are in the screenshots above, but here I will explain again:

1.) Grab the files from GoogleDrive.
2.) Extract them with WinRAR (or similar) into your Import directory.
3.) Use Photoshop/GIMP or similar to replace the sign image with your own (only change the top "green" area.
- The available area for your sign is 1024x512 pixels.
4.) The ENTIRE 1024x512 sign image are will appear on your sign. So, you may need to adjust the shape of your image to prevent your sign from appearing distorted.
5.) You need to create a pure Black and White version of your sign image, for the Alpha layer. It must be in the exact same location as your sign image.
6.) Save your new images.
- You can rename the sign image to whatever you want. Just make sure the 3 image files match the FBX file name.
- Make sure the image file names end with _d, _a, _i.
7.) The signs are around 4 meters in the longest dimension. You can adjust this with the "Scaling" factor in the Asset Editor.
8.) You can add "hanging cables" or "mounting bracket" to your sign from inside the game. You will need to import those assets through the Asset Editor
- they use the same image files as the signs, and it does not matter what is in the top part of the image files.
- the FBX files are in the GoogleDrive link.

If you do use this kit, please comment below and tell me. If enough people use it, I may make another kit for "scrolling LED sign" or other...

Thanks!
