Hi, Currently I am working to model the old light bricks (size 2 x 2) Does anyone know if and how it is possible to put a lightsource for POV Ray inside? First renderings of the bricks and the datfiles will be uploaded to my website this evening (...) (22 years ago, 1-Oct-02, to lugnet.cad)

(...) You can put the light near the brick. So the light seems to come out of the brick. To have a light effect in the brick you need to increase the reflection in the color definition of the POV-file. I hope that helps. CU Bernd (22 years ago, 1-Oct-02, to lugnet.cad)

(...) There are 2 ways to do this -- the quick way and the right way. The quick way: If it's not a transparent part, and if it's in a well-lit area, you can crank up the ambient value of the color the part uses. The right way: You want to replace (...) (22 years ago, 1-Oct-02, to lugnet.cad)

(...) Very nifty! Would that produce the light brick as a uniformly lighted object, or would it glow from within, in the manner of a brick with a lamp in it? My thought, which was simpler (ie, less technically precise, in deference to my lack of (...) (22 years ago, 1-Oct-02, to lugnet.cad)

(...) It's kinda hard to describe. The object itself emits light. If it's opaque, then it just looks like it's in a well-lit area. But if it's transparent, the clear parts refract and reflect the light is a pretty convincing way. To get realistic, (...) (22 years ago, 1-Oct-02, to lugnet.cad)

(...) Ah! You've given me an idea! My initial suggestion was to put a light_source inside the 3001.dat, but I can see why that might not give the best result. What if we made each of the three stud4.dat's into light_objects (or some similar (...) (22 years ago, 1-Oct-02, to lugnet.cad)

(...) Mayby I introduced some confusement by calling my lightbrick 'old'. I just realised that the 'old lightbrick' is seen as the really old 2x4 brick. I ment the little newer 2x2 brick. See: (URL) the theory about the lightsources count for both (...) (22 years ago, 2-Oct-02, to lugnet.cad)
