Wondering ways to possibly add lighting to the buildings? maybe a collective from the community with small sections that could be restitched once done?.... discuss

There doesn't seem to be an easy way to add lights to buildings for large areas like this. As I could not get the uv unwrap to work the textures are a mess and there are thousands of them. So that rules out hand painting new emissive textures.
Not sure if you can add an overlayed building that is invisible during the day and emissive at night over the top.
One thing I noticed when flying over another city at night is that unless you are close the building lights don't work very well as they don't appear to have lods so once they are small they just disappear. Would have been better if they had fewer lights but larger when further away like they have blended together and would look more realistic.
And as I typed that I realise that for lods you would need three sets of emissive textures that could do this so they work from further away.
