Particles emitting light with FG
I have a particle beam shooting at an asteroid. The beam should illuminate the asteroid and the PB Tower, while maintaining a pleasant blue shimmer.
Currently I have the Incandescence cranked to 30, which gives me perfect illumination, but I naturally lose all detail in the beam texturing itself. I suspect I could do it with "Irradiance as Source" techniques instead, so I could maybe texture the beam and then use irradiance as the value of light it emits, but I dont know how.
I suspect their are easier ways to make this work, like making an invisible cylinder of light or something, but eventually I'm going to need the beam to do some pretty crazy motion and it'd be best if the particles were doing what they were intended to do.
Thanks.
