Lightwave users, Maybe some of you pros out there can help me out. I'm making a 3D rendering of a city which includes traffic lights. I'm trying to make an illusion at this crossroad where you can see the red, yellow, and green of the traffic light, but one of them is clearly lit and illuminated. I've made the traffic light objects transparent and in the obvious colors with a light behind the one that is supposed to be lit. It doesn't seem to be working. The rendering is just turning out null. Any ideas of how I can simulate a light shining through a colored glass dome such as on a traffic light? By the way I have tried the color filter, no effect.
