Light - Halo

[Hover]

Hello everyone!

 

Is there a possibility to see the light of a light source?

So not just the "effect" of a light but the light itself.

 

For example if you're having a lamp: It should glow and not only light the scene.

 

Thanks!

I guess you can make a billboard with a transparent yellow circle texture on it.

Yes, its called lens flare effect. There is already an object in LE that does that.

Yes lensflares can do this:

And how can i add it to my light?

Just add lens flare object where your light source is. Apply appropriate light corona material.

okay, my source now looks like that:

 

 

 

But how could i add this "shining"?:

 

 

And an other thing: How could i realize a "stretched light", for ex. a fluorescent tube?

You can add a tall billboard (one that always faces the camera on Y axis) and apply a light "beam" material. Not sure if the one used in the demo screen-shot is supplied with LE. If not, you can easily draw one yourself in GIMP.

Haven't found the sample. So i think you need to draw it your own
