Question: lighting effects

Hmuda · 03-31-09, 08:39 PM

I was doing a night attack recently and it occured to me: why don't explosions and fire actually emmit light? They sure look bright but they have no visible effect on the ship model itself.

This pic is a good example:

The explosion itself is bright, but the tower right next to it remains dark.

So my question is: is it possible to use dynamic light sources on fires and explosions or we can forget about them?
