How To Obtain This ?

Post by kronox » Sat Mar 09, 2013 11:09 am

Hi.

I'm trying to render the BMW M5 F10 with the headlights and back lights activated. Now I'm working on the headlights, and thought the "lids" above the circle LEDs is a heavy frosted glass or a matte plexiglass which diffuses light, but it doesn't diffuse any light in my rendering. How do I get it to light up like in the real picture ?

Thank you.

Found it. Should have figure out it's a simple glowing lampshade.

You can increase the power of the light emitter. Default is like 100 or something. you can go to 10000, 50000, etc.

Don't go over the top with the power, if it's too bright it will cause render artifacts (bad) or just look wrong.
If that happens, back off the power a bit.

I know... now the LED circles are set to 2500, over 5000 shows light on the ground. Thanks :D
