how to make the light

[Levitateme]

Most people i have seen just use a texture, planar mapping. i would look online or get your camera and take a pic of your light on your car.

can you show the details
is there any tutorials

[Levitateme]

well, i can tell you how.

i would model the shape of the light. then get your texture, apply a planar projection on it, thats about it. its really strait forward it depends on how your going to model it with nurbs or polygons? i think nurbs would be fastest, i dont use them anymore though. but you would assign a file texture to it with projection on and use planar, then scale it to your liking. does that help?

thanks,let me try,
there is another question,
you know ,the shape of the light may has several surfaces,so which surface should i planar the texture on.
can you offer a pic of it.

sure, have you modeled your geometry for the light yet? i would do that then post a pic of it i tried adding you to my msn using that name you haev on your signature. if your on that ill just help you over msn ciao.
