City Lights Booksellers [UPDATED]

City Lights Booksellers asset has been updated.

Reworked diffuse and illumination maps to allow for more interesting night time illumination of windows. In this revamp I also upgraded the transoms around the entryway to stained glass for extra visual interest.

Changed signage from part of main model to an included prop. This allowed the sign to have its own illumination map and the letters now light up at night. A by product of this is 2000 fewer lower triangles on the main model.

I believe you will need to unsubscribe and resubscribe to benefit from the changes.

This asset is inspired by the iconic City Lights Booksellers and Publshers in San Francisco, CA. City Lights was founded in 1953 by poet Lawrence Ferlinghetti and Peter D. Martin. Both the store and the publishers became widely known following the obscenity trial of Ferlinghetti for publishing Allen Ginsberg's collection Howl and Other Poems. The bookstore's location straddles the boundary between North Beach and Chinatown neighborhoods at 261 Columbus Ave.

I have made the asset more symetrical and square than the real-life building so that it would be playable in many C/S cities. The asset is 3 tiles wide and best used in wall-to-wall dense urban zoning.

Some of the pictures of the asset include a prop with 6 banners that have adorned City Lights that have the message "Paper May Burn But Words Will Escape". The real-life bookstore has cycled through various banners like these over recent years. I recommend using the accompanying banners prop and placing with Moveit if you want a more unique look for your city. The Prop already spaces the 6 banners horizontally to fit between the 3rd story windows so the effort level to place is minimal.
