Haven't played with omni's inside objects, but for "visible light"
there are a few tricks you'll want to check out:
1) Use an object with opacity mapping, self illumination, and transparency to
simulate "shafts" or "beams" of light.
2) Smoke IPAS will show light. I don't have this, but I've seen nice
effects with it, like CHAPEL.JPG on the WCT CD-ROM
3) For other lighting effects the YOST IPAS collection #1 has lens
flare, highlight, and glow. These are pretty self explanatory.
The above mentioned IPAS' are all R2, with R3 updates to be released
sometime this spring.
