Hi everyone,

Just trying to do something with lighting, and not having much success. I'm trying to create headligts for a car. Ideally, I'd like to create headligts, parented to a car model, and make it so that any image rendered with the model will show not just the lighted headlights, but actual beams of light coming from them. At first I thought this might be something I could accomplish with volumetric lighting. I did some experimenting with volumetric lighting a year or two ago, and the results caqn be seen at

Unfortunately, this isn't the effect I'm looking for. Is what I'm trying to do even possible? I looked i the tutorials section with no success. Wondering if anyone can point me in the right direction on this. Thanks in advance -

Use a cone prop for the headlight beams.

Is that anything like the Cone of Silence?  :)

just clicking around a bit...

Poser standard fog atmosphere with yellowish spotlight at angle_end = 30.
Set Atmosphere strength (for the light) at say 0.2 - or at least: high.

Further scene lighting by whitish infinite light.

Usually I'm wrong. But to be effective and efficient, I don't need to be correct or accurate.

visit www.aRtBeeWeb.nl (works) or Missing Manuals (tutorials & reviews) - both need an update though

see http://www.book.artbeeweb.nl/?p=3093 for a tutorial on Poser atmosphere

(Geek's cones render much faster, and do better in stylish/toony scenes. Volumetrics need PC-power, give a foggy effect within the cone and make realistic shadows. Just a matter of choice.)
