How to make this kind of light effect?

[btke]

this is not a light effect. Geometry is used to creat this effect.

You might have a go with Spotlights,Gobos and volumetrics...

and some fantasy

don't this images have a name ? i remember some post a few months back - i think they are created from a polygonal surface with some heavy distortion applied to it (randomized vertex positions)

I think you have to use your compositing software to achieve this........should also work with an animation

Yeah there was a pretty long thread called trendwhore something or other. Just do a search for that.

the big pinching, warping distortion in the image is probably either a post effects, or a cam with really tiny focal length ;)

Thank all of you !
There're many good ideas.(thank Ceql ur "focal lenth",
Houkah ur cool name "trendwhore".I never heard that before,
and other kind people!)

I made a small test below in maya,that's from your advise.
this is made of polygon,but if I want to make
some animate effect .
ex 1.the color and shape is smothly changing like the polar lights.
ex 2.the fragment have the scatter effect .

can Partical or fluid achieve that?
