Adding a glow texture to a lighting device


Recommended Posts

I want to use a light fixture that's strictly eye candy (Specifically the Elation Pixel Bar 40) and I'm trying to apply a glow texture to the lens.  But when insert using the Lighting Device tool, there's no option to edit the 3D components.  If I add it as a 2D/3D hybrid symbol (drag & drop from the resource manager), then I can edit 2D or 3D components but then it doesn't actually act like a light fixture.  Any ideas?

Using VW Spotlight 2021.

Here is good guide for that glow rendering. I think its originally from these forums some where, so credit goes to who ever has created this great information.

 

Like Jesse mentioned you have to edit symbol definition and add glow texture to fixtures lens objects. And then if you want to change color of lens with beam color change Spotlight Preferences also. This whole procedure is quite easy when you get hang of it.
