I am looking for suggestions for creating headlights on a car I am building in 3ds, and am not having much luck. Does anyone know the easiest way to take this model and put spot lights for the headlights, render the scene and have the lights be bright like a beam? Also, I am placing the lights behind a glass texture (fyi), if that makes a difference… Problem #2…I am trying to use autoreflection mapping for the rearview mirror sitting on the dash to reflect the scene, but it isn't working…I have followed all of the steps in the reference manual on 9-37 to9-38 with no luck…the mirror is black…granted I'm not using a background at this time, but shouldn't the rest of the car be reflected? This isn't that big of a deal, but I saw the ability and I thought I'd try it on for size with no luck…thanks! Mark
