Hi everybody.. /Dr. Nick off.

Perhaps I've already wished this thing, but it would be SOOO nice if MR would have a light projector option. I made this image with 3dmax+vray a loooong time ago, and I used light projector(tree map) option.

Again one good otion to decrease render time.

This looks great! Is it the only way to do this? No MXI emitter or HDR?

I've never used this feature, but it seems it would be pretty easy to put a tree in front of your light source. Not even a 3d tree, a cutout would work to get that same lighting.
That's how I did this one:

Yea, there is lots of tricks to make that effect, but it would be nice if there was some slot where I could put some shadow map etc.

in fact you have it! Mxi emitter, with the cinema projector trick we have here somewhere in the forum
or even a clipmapped plane would you do the job
