volumetric light effect
i've been tearing my hair out trying to get some text to cast shadows in fog, to get that light streaming effect often used in movie titling - no joy so far, anyone got any tips they can pass on
cheers,
tony

..or are you trying to cast visible shadow-rays through regular volume environ fog?
Sorry, but I just need to know so I don't waste your time
NOTE: Just FYI, If you are using LIGHT fog (fog from a light)
Remember that Light Fog attributes are only available for Point, Spot and Volume lights

i've tried both ways without success (using spotlight) - i'm obviously missing some basic point here
don't realy mind which way i do it as long as can get something to work

it's an mpeg4 quicktime movie and plays on mac and pc
just one more thing - i bumped up the contrast in after effects as the original output was a bit flat - is there a way of acheiving this in maya - i've fiddled with various parameters but could not get what i wanted, especially to make the light streaks more obvious
cheers,
tony
