>>laser beams… You can make an object, like a cylinder, ADDitive transparancy, outside falloff, 100% self illuminating. Note that if the "beam" needs to be very long relative to its diameter, create it with multiple segments to avoid long narrow face problems. You can make such a beam switch on instantly by using hide keys. I made some recently for a technical animation and they looked great. JKJ
