Hey I have a question from my friend, because she is a dork and is too embarassed to post questions here because you guys might think she's stupid. Please tell her that it's not true, and encourage her to post as many questions as she can because, honestly, that's the best way to learn. Correct?
Onto the question.
She wants to do something like this lighting effect

With mental ray. The image is created from a non mental ray tutorial. Don't ask me why she wants to use mental ray to achieve something like this... I dunno maybe she wants other things to be lighted with mental ray as opposed to the maya renderer.
Another example image:

The tutorial:

I don't really understand what she has against the tutorial but for some reason she despises it. Maybe you can flesh out better steps of getting it to work. Oh another thing, she wants exact steps.. not concepts.. just give her a sequence of things to do so that it works. Any ideas? Sorry I'm so vague, I don't really get what she wants and I can't help her solve her problem because I'm not a light setup person, I just model.
Thanks in advance.
