Hello everyone. I need to create a realistic render of a jukebox and am struggling with the incandescent tubes around the machine:
http://www.faqs.org/photo-dict/photofiles/list/480/860jukebox.jpg
I need them to be incandescent and cast light as well. Also, towards the ends of the tube, you'll notice that it's considerably darker. I need this effect as well.
I will be animating the camera to move around and need multiple angles, so I can't rely on still frame trickery.
I've tried using the mia_light_surface but I lose the specular and geometry detail.
Any help would be great!
