I was reading the Bryce Bible - like a good girl! - and noticed that in the booleaning section it mentioned that you can boolean with lights....

Um, what would you do with this?  Why?  I mean it does sound like fun, but any ideas?

 

You can make an object glow like a lamp or UFO.... 

Oh yes?  How would you do that then?

(Cyber Club is now ending, be back tomorrow... or at least later in the week.)

First, I did not know you could boolean radial lights together....   BUT if you could here is a suggestion...  I hope I did not misunderstand.... otherwise please excuse me.....

Choose a radial light and click on the 'E'   function you'll go to the lights lab

There is a function in the lights lab under render option called Visible objects  make sure it is "on" and choose "on" for  Volume  as well.... now bring up the intensity amount ( 80) and you'll see that the radial light turns into a sun when you render it....

Now imagine if you could boolean several radials lights together.....  and play with color and intensities....  am I making sense ......

frogdot did some stuff with booleaned lights, it can create some strange effects.

I remembered a thread a while back in which AgentSmith had written about booleaning lights

I'd just like to know what 'negative light' looks like..;)  It's what you get when you turn your switch to the 'down' position?..;)

pakled, I've done a bit with negative lights, there are two images on my website gallery that use negative lights - the Blue Ice image uses one normal light of blue colour and one negative light of... whatever colour turned out to be the negative of Blue, possibly yellow, I can't remember off the top of my head.

The coloured chrome ball below the ice image also uses negative lights but here the negative lights are crossing over each other resulting in strange combinations of colours, I don't have the info on exactly what did what to whom right now, since I'm in class at the moment, and the images and their Bryce scenes are on the laptop in my room, if anyone really wants to know I can look it up tomorrow. 

haloedrain,

Had a look at those, nice stuff, thanks for the heads up.

tom271,

Now that's an interesting idea, I wonder what would happen if you could do all that - and add negative lights to the mix.... I think I'll have to have a play.
