Originally posted by bendingiscool Thanks guys, ya i presumed I would have to build up mike, just not sure about each part if you see what I mean, I have a volume emitter as the main beam, but plan on having layers over the top of this, just not sure how to make it look really cool basically lol. Chris Layers over the main beam... I've got a thought or 2, though I'm kinda new to some of the stuff here. What if you have more Volume Emitters as your layers where the particle are either spares, or trancelucent. Another thought I have which can be a little old-skool. This idea comes from editing Jedi Knight Dark Forces 2. To have cylindars surrounding your main beam with different shades of the color of the main beam (trancelucency optional) and invert the normals (meaning turn them inside-out (surfaces pointing inwards)). Hope this helps.
