Hi! Well, for a while now, Ive been trying to achieve a similar result to the below image

http://img194.imageshack.us/img194/8425/mithengeyourst.jpg (http://img194.imageshack.us/i/mithengeyourst.jpg/)

I really cannot figure out how to achieve a similar result to the above image, with regards to materials and lighting, what gets me the most is how to achieve the lens flare effect at the end of the hall shining through the corridor.

I am using
Mental Ray
3Ds Max 2009

The question is simple and rather desperate of me, after exhausting online resources and a book I recently bought on mental ray. I still can’t figure out where to begin. ( Its modeled of course : D )

Anything would be useful, if possible.

Thanks in advance!

You mean the glow? Photoshop! Or use the Mental Ray Glare Output shader.
