I have an area omni between the cylinder (which is a tube primitive actually) and a box (primitive also, so it shouldnt be a face normal problem), and the light is passing through the box??! see pic

I'm sure everyone has seen this in some form or another, beit in a movie, video game, or in real life; An object in the dark being silhouetted against a bright light and light seems to leak from around the object in rays along its edge. What this phenomenon is called, and even if you don't, how to recreate the effect in GIMP?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a routine that runs a cycle through 36 large dynamic blocks, then finishes. Somewhere in this code I'm either leaking memory, running a never ending loop, or AutoCAD gets stuck on something. I have a 12gb machine, and this file only uses a few MB on the hard drive. So even after I save and close the file, AutoCAD is using 100% of 1 core CPU (4 core i7) in 0 drawing state stuck at 11gb of Memory (Private Working Set). So, What is this program doing in 0 drawing state, and how is my code responsible? I have to kill it with task manager.

Is it possible to affix a point light to an object so it moves with it when you move the object? I know you can simply select both and move 'em together. But I made a fixture with a lot of point lights on it and it's a pain in the ass to try to select everything in order to move it and position it.

Link me to a plugin.
If it is possible to replace objects in a scene with light objects. The normal replace function in the import menu will only replace normal mesh objects with other mesh objects. But if I try the same by replacing box objects in my scene with the light source object I saved in a separate max file, it says it doesn't find any objects in the max file with the same name despite it having the exact same name. (both objects in question have all lower case letters in the name)
I'm currently using Max 10 to render lightmaps for a first person shooter game and I use various scripts to get the game content into the scene. The game also provides object positions for glow objects which are in positions I intend to use for light sources. Normally I go through a long tedious process of cloning light objects and positioning roughly in the same area where the glow objects are. (objects I decide not to replace with the game's object meshes appear as standard box objects in max unless I convert them to mesh objects).
But I would like to create a set of light objects and do a batch replace on some objects already in the scene with my light objects. This would save me a lot of time. Is there a function max that can do this or is there a script that can do this?
I am working on a sign which needs to be backlit. I cant seem to get the light to interact with the shape in front. I need the light to spread across the shape, basically between the wall and the oval shape.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI am trying to animate a casino-like light board made of tens of light bulbs/leds. I thought the easiest way to do it would be creating a matrix of bulbs arranged by material ID and then design a pattern in multi sub-object materiel so I could somehow scrub through it and achieve animation effect. The material modifier allows to change ID for the whole object only and MaterialByElement shuffle ID`s in a random manner.

I am attempting to build a facsimilie enigma machine, I would like to know how best to create an effect so that when a key is pressed a corresponding letter appears to light up. Btw I am not looking for an animated image, I can take care of the transitions between on and off, I just need to create the two image states.

How do you lock the pivot point of a light to the light itself? I thought just adding a Axis node would move the light and pivot point but the pivot does not move. Is there a way of parenting them together?
