Hi guys,
I'm guessing Matthias used a VSL Curve object with an UV coordinate
horizontally and Surface:illumination vertically... or something like that.
When rendering with global illumination, such self-illuminating objects
actually cast light on the surroundings, but normally one would turn its
shadow casting off and use a Special light source, like Neil already said.
One thing that could help, especially if you want to project shadows
from behind onto the membrane, is the Paper shader (translucency).
BTW, i still use RS regularly for my Internal Reflections project that
requires CSG rendering (anyone remember Chuck Henry?)!
regards & good luck,
Mark Heuymans

Good to hear from you guys!
The "mattglass" material is the one I have been trying to get right
because that is what is suggested in the user manual. I was fiddling
with the ambient and diffuse settings of it, but either it gets too
bright or it gets too transparent.
The look in Matthias' pics is absolutely gorgeous. I don't think I
have ever tried anything near what you are talking about, but I will
try to figure it out. :-)
Thanks for the replies!

Both are made with a spherical selillumation map.
I've use the w from the uvw direction on
a ramp to adjust the power for the illumination.
Unfortunatly I can't find the RS scene files, soory.
Hope that's helpy,
Matthias

I normally fake the effect with a glowing material.

Unfortunately it doesn't happen very often, but from time
to time I fire up
RS3D to play a little. This is still my favourite 3D
modelling tool as I
might have become too old to learn new user interfaces.
One of the many things that I never managed to get my head
around in RS
though is how to make a good material for translucent lamp
shades. Imagine a
thin, white shape of plastic covering a light bulb, be it
a sphere, a
pyramid or whatever. This plastic is not transparent in
the sense that I can
see through it, but it is transparent enough to let the
light from inside
pass through and make it look as if the entire object is a
light source. In
addition, the material diffuses the light to make softer
shadows. This last
effect might be desirable in the VSL material but it is
not critical as long
as I can get the effect of a naturally glowing shape that
doesn't block too
much light from the actual light source within.
Can anyone please assist me in this as it has been bugging
me for years and
years?
Best regards
Fredrik
