"Render - to melt down (fat)" Sounds like something they do to dead horses. :o)

I think it's supposed to be Render - to create a picture digitally, combined with Radiosity (sp?) - a trick of light where light beams are actually visible. What they do to dead horses is beat them. That would be the C&D forum, not Renderosity as a whole. ;-}~

So Renderosity actually means to Digitally Render a visible beam of light? cool ..Always wondered what that meant:)

I always thought the "-osity" part refers to "the act of", like with words such as ferocity, luminosity, generosity. So I've always read it as "lots of rendering action." ;)

Radiosity is where any object can emit light which can illuminate other things. In Bryce any ray of light vanishes tge second time it hits anything, and all light sources must be points (including points at infinity, i.e. a parallel beam). That much reduces the arithmetic involved in ray tracing. To make an object (e.g. a blowtorch flame or a raygun beam or a fluorescent light tube) stay full brightness when in shadow, set its ordinary color to black and its ambience color to the desired color. But that won't make it illuminate anything else.
