Don't try to put lights inside other pieces, edit the .POV file instead, and
create lights that 'looks_like' the piece in question. It's much easier.
You have to lower the (general) ambient value a bit, and fiddle with the
parameters for
the light that should be used with 'looks_like'. As an example, take my
Christmas rendering from 1998:
http://user.tninet.se/~hbh828t/merry.htm
Excerpts from the .pov file:
...
// Less ambient light, and more diffuse.
#declare AMB = 0.2
#declare DIF = 0.6
...
...
// Special color for the lights
#declare Color46_t = texture {
pigment { rgbf <1,0.905882,0.211765,0.90> }
finish { ambient 0.6 diffuse 0 phong 0.5 phong_size 40 reflection 0.9
refraction 1 ior 1.25 }
}
...
...
#declare light_point = light_source {
<0, -8, 0>
color rgb 0.5*<1,0.905882,0.211765>
fade_distance 60.0
fade_power 1.6
looks_like {_3062_dot_dat texture { Color46_t } }
}
...
Then you just replace the pieces that should be lighted:
object { _3062_dot_dat matrix <1,0,0,0,1,0,0,0,1,-50,-280,10> texture
Color46 } }
is replaced with
object { light_point matrix <1,0,0,0,1,0,0,0,1,-50,-280,10>}
etc.
Note that I introduced a separate color (Color46_t) for the lighted piece.
I also turned off the L3P generated lights completely.
This is in no way the only method, but it works for me.
