Hi all,
I was wondering if anybody had an idea how to make realistic light through curtains in Vue. I have played around with volumetric light and some of the material settings, but have yet to find anything that works.
I am looking for the soft kind of glow you see when the sun shines through white curtains.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Joe

You should read about the use of light gels in the manual. I think this is exactly what you need. Add a gel to a spotlight and then modify this gel to your needs.

Give it a little bit of transparency, try 5 to 10% or so. To ad on more realism give the material a bump, so you start to see a patern when light comes through. You could also try to drive a variable tranparency with the bump map. There is a noise node in the function editor called "fabric" which works quite well. Cheers!!
