Headlights

Hi Max pros, I hope you can help me. I made some headlights and encountered a problem. How do I light up the inner part of a light?

select the material the represents the light cover... (glass part) and make it self-illuminated... should work ok .... another method is to put an omni light inside it and use that.... however, make sure that the omni only lights up those elements that you wish to be lit up from the inside...

I tried the omni light before, but just forgot to work with the illumination option instead of the shadow casting one ;) Stupid me...

I guess these lights will do on an airplane, will they not?

your volume light needs colour..
make it a slight yellow

It is slightly yellow, but the density is set to 5.

add more density...

Later, it's just a test. ;)

no probs... looks good though... how did you make the bumps???

I was lucky there, found a tut that explains it pretty well. :)
