Quote :My only complaint (which has been one for some time) is Carrara's poor implementation of visible, volumetric lighting with shadows. They won't stream through glass! The light passes through, but the nice foggy beams stop cold. Also, the color of the glass (or other transparent material) is not picked up and transmitted beyond the, glass. trueSpace excels at this, and even Vue5I will do it, but for some reason, Eovia lets this one get through revision after revision? If someone at Eovia is reading this give us some good realistic volumetric, visible, foggy particulate laden lights! Do this before C5Pro hits the streets. This tired spotlight (and other light effects as well) has been pretty much unchanged from the old RD days! No offense to Gweb as he might a legit complaint(but I've seen this complaint/request umpteen times already). That said, I'd like to more about the above quote. The more info that is available, the easier it for future potential customers to decide. I hope I'm not being rude, I don't mean to be, I'm just more interested in things like this. The guts so to speak. Thanks :)
