     Here is a test render of the demo panel.  No Poser lights are on.  The indicator lights are animated (strobe, pulse, or color shift), as are the "chaser" strip lights.  The spotlight cones have animated haze.  There is an aura around the lights when they are lit up.

     All of this is done in the material room, so the end user of your model will not need to do any keyframing.  Also, I used matrices, instead of using an AVI in the movie node, so the materials will run regardless of whether the system is 32bit or 64bit.

     Cameron is cranking out animation frames now;  I'll try to post a SWF when it's done, if the materials come out well.

     I still need to make material room screenshots and label them.
