Hi list,

I am trying to make a small solar system in Gem (attached draft). I am
wondering how I can put a point light source inside a Geo (eg. sun) and
make it shine through that geo.
For now I am placing the light source between sun and earth, which looks
ok unless I change the camera position.
Placing the light inside the sun geo and reducing alpha values of the
sun geo does work for alpha values of 0.5 (values above _and_ below 0.5
will damp the light) but will also make the sun transparent.

How can I make the sun shine?

Thanks!
Peter
