Anybody know of any free emergency lights? You know, the oblong things with cut glass/plastic see through covers? I think they are actually called: Bulkhead Lights - see pic I do mean models...

It's the cuts I'm not sure how to acheive, they have me totally baffled. And it's the cuts I really want - I'm thinking of the way the light reacts with those cuts, I was hoping it would cast light with patterns in it - do you think it would?

It doesn't, Fran - because the pattern is only on the outside. These are very common for outdoor lights here where I live, and I've never seen them cast a patterned light...

No Fran, chances are you'll have to provide a gel projecting the cuts in the lens to the outside environment if you really need them. And this can be done using just Bryce using positive and negative primative objects. Just need to think outside the box a little. Would be easier using a true modeling program.

I got one of these over my backdoor......You could probably do the glass with loads of tori.

Hey Fran, I thought I would take a crack at it. Does this look like something you can use? If not, don't worry, I had fun doing it and I know I could use it for something,lol. If you would like it, let me know and I can zip and send you either the Wings, or the object file. I think I came close to the shape, but I took some liberties with the safety cage and made it a little more robust.

danamo, It looks just great, after the first few replies I went away and had a think about it, came up with these^^^ I was fairly happy with them until I saw yours, now I'm green with envy! I do have some patterns showing both directly under the lights and a bit on the "wall". But I have no idea how to reproduce a caustic like that. Bryster, Yes I had one outside my back door in the yard up north, but as I no longer live there I had to hunt on the net for the pic. Having owned one didn't help me figure out how to MAKE one though, that was the people in this and the Wings forum who did that...
