#Sunbeams

How come in the ads of magaizines I see like sunbeams comming throught
windows in like a house, and there is no function to do that?
You can do this no problem. Here are two ways:
1) Use the SMOKE IPAS from the Yost Group (R3 upgrades to come)
2) Create an object (cones usually do the trick) that simulates the
shaft of light entering the window, then attach appropriate opacity
map, and play with the self illumination parameters, and BINGO!
Of the two, SMOKE IPAS is probably the better looking, but with nice
maps the object method can be beautiful, too.
Okay thanks! But one more thing is that how they did the cathedral one?
On the chapel question. Yes. They use an object filled with smoke. The
chapel mesh is on the R3 CD so you can see how the effect was
accomplished for yourself.
The cathedral animation on the demo reel uses SMOKE IPAS, while the
one on the R3 CD ROM uses the geometry method (I think… I haven't
looked at it since installing R3).
