MR neon

[emen]

hi

 

does anyone know a way to create neon (as an object and as lightsource) with max using MR

 

thx

have u tried using a direct light, then configure the hotspot / fall off beam to the diameter of the neon, then set the far attentuation to the length of the neon.

then under atmosphere and effects add volume light. increase the density, and there u have a neon light.

I would suggest using a mentalray-material with the glow(lume)-shader in combination with the glareshader in the render-output-slot. finalgather has to be turned on so the objects in the close surrounding will be affected by the gloweffect.
