Postby filanwizard » Wed Apr 13, 2011 7:01 pm

light rings from a single point light with no mesh filters.

That's cool! You could render it a little longer and post as a nice wallpaper. :)

That looks really fun, great image as a result, looks almost like a object itself.

What generator are you using?

Thanks XD.


As for the generator I am using I its ies_gen3 from the link in the Luxrender Wiki.

Now if I used some very small Plane meshes I bet I could get just the rings and not the glow of the point light.

I agree, to me that glow makes it look like some kind of energy construct.

Heh, thanks for the information, I did not release there was a IES generator link in the wiki, doh. :geek:

Ok keeping the glow and made some changes.

This is a very early render of a custom IES light with some added fun...
