I am just trying to find out what the best method to re-create this ray of light effect using Max. Goolgo, you showed this to me awhile ago?

The link for the Flash effect is here

Hey,

No, it was this :) (see bottom link). But it's similar. This was actually rendered in Max as png files which were then imported and used in Flash as an animation sequence.

All it is really is just a plane with the text cut out of it making holes in the shape of letters and behind the plane a volume fog light was animated from left to right. I had also narrowed the beam of light so it kind of slices through the text over a limited area.

Yep Thats the one! Thanks Goolgo, do you still go on Messenger? I'm just trying to figure out the volume fog light in Max, it isn't the volume light is it?

Thanks
