Hey all,
I am doing an image for the Master & Servant contest at cg talk but I need some advice regarding volumetric lighting from carrara users. I want light streaming into the church thru the stained glass windows. Right now I get a nice effect having the stained glass tmap in the transparency/color channels which produces the colored light on the floor and walls. I now want to add the streaming light cone in carrara for the streaming volumetric light. The light cones and transparency/alpha channels dont work together.
So,I was wanting to render the light cone creating the streaming light effect as a separate layer and composite it with this image . I figured this was the best way , does anyone know how to do this , it would be appreciated if you can help me out. I guess I could do this in postwork which is allowed but it would be nice to produce as much in carrara as possible.
