MY EYES! MY EYES! MY innocent eyes!. LOL.  Awesome use of the cylinder I would have never thought to use it that way.  I imagine my expression would be a little more untamed if I opened a book and a naked lady popped out of it.  But like my ole college roomate used to tell me.  "See that's why God doesn't give us super powers" LOL

 

Initially, I thought that light coming from the book would be enough.  But it kind of tapered away at roughly knee-height, and that's not the effect I wanted to attain.  I'd written the scene that inspired this render early this year and had been imagining it for a long time.  Seeing the threads at Runtime DNA about light-emitting objects had me anxious for the new Poser Pro version for many weeks.  I thought: "I'll bet I can pull this off!"

But I had to play with the cylinder's transparency quite a bit before I arrived at the effect you see.  There's an edge-blend node in its material to soften the transition at its fringes.

It will actually render a visible image without any light at all, but it looks a bit blotchy that way.
