Oh this is too cool.

One of my experiments I thot people might actually want experiment with themselves!

Though, I must say, I'd like a material with the consistency of soap.. which is somewhere between glass and plastic. I cant seem to get the soap look with either plastic or glass. (for this glow on the inside experiment)

mmmmmmm... glow

The skinny:
the word "glow" as an object with a custom emitter... set to about 60% lum in LW. place inside a glass bar.
The glass bar has .8 in the UV
Obviously I changed the scattering value in both the glass material and in the render settings. I dialed up scattering and left the other one alone.

That's cool. Almost reminds me of neon tubes. Probably woudn't be too much of a stretch to get that effect.

is this gallery stuff now?

Yeah... thinking about it perhaps "goodies" or "off topic" would have been better. sorry.

As for the time. That's about a 25 minute render... so not as bad as I expected for sure! I could see actually using the effect for something real.

so to speak.

Tom, half of threads have nothing to do here in the gallery section...

this is scandalous.....

Ian, nice test, but move it to render section... or lightwave...
