Ball of light in final gathering?
 

Dear reader, I hope you can help me with question!

How can I render in maya 6.5 with final gathering a lightsource like a street with lantern lighting the sidewalk nicely in the mentalray look! (ball of light) (create pointlight doesn't work)

Which MayaMaster can help me out here. I would be verry Thankfull!

Greatings, ROB

Lol, I dont know about me being master, but its nice to give people that impression :D

ALright, drop the entire sphere with high incandescence. Keep final gather. Go into hypershade and create (under mental ray lights) a physical light with the color of the street lamp. place it at its place and watch it work.

Maybe turning global illumination on might help a whole lot too

hope that helped
