Hmmm this is turning out to be tricky.

I've been experimenting with how to do the blinking lights inside. I'm not at all happy with what I've got, but I only tried one quick hack involving Cellular and Clouds nodes. And Poser is just not good at doing any sort of frosted glass effect.

I made an animation to show what I did so far. I'm using animated shaders - there are no actual moving parts in the demo, other than the camera moving around.

There's a file there - nacelle1.avi. Right-click it and download to your computer, then view it. When I click directly on it, the browser doesn't play it, it shows it as text. I think google doesn't know to send a mime type properly for avi files.

This is just a first cut. I'll make it look much better, I'm sure.

If nacelle1.avi is no longer there (those of you reading this in the future) it means I got rid of it.

Renderosity forum reply notifications are wonky. If I read a follow-up in a thread, but I don't myself reply, then notifications no longer happen AT ALL on that thread. So if I seem to be ignoring a question, that's why. (Updated September 23, 2019)
