How to create Light beam in Bryce 5 please Help me I want to make light beam through metal holes with animation.... there is a metal piece which has somes holes and i want to show that light is coming from it like a beam how to possible please help. Thanks

ghaniz, try placing a radial or spot light behind the metal that has the holes in it. then adjust the light to suit your needs.

I have opinions of my own -- strong opinions -- but I don't always agree with them.

 

well... it's a volumetric material matter. Just do a cylinder coming out od the hole you've done (make the cylinder with bigger diameter than the hole, then go to the material lab go into volume material and select "standard volume light" add a light inside the metallic object and render. -Caution: volume materials increase your render time - hope it helps. vasq
