I'm having a bit of trouble and I hope someone here can help me. (I'm still using LW 2.0…) I would like to setup a light that is visible in the rendering. Every time I place a light in view, the objects it illuminates are fine but the light itself is invisible. I've tried using all of the ray trace options and it still doesn't get it. I'm using a point light. Any clues? I would also like to make a surface completely mirrored. What are the diffuse, refraction, reflection (100% obviously) and other settings to do this? What about a glass cube? An ideal thing here would be to create a light bulb. I've seen these before but can't seem to create one. Placing a light source inside the transparent globe doesn't cut it. Any help would be appreciated… Thanks, Mark.
