I’d like to know how to create something like this. I have tried playing around with the fluorescence and i’m not having any luck. Any ideas on how to get this effect? I have 3DS 2012, Maxwell, Vray 2, etc. so programs are not an issue.

i too would love to see realistic rendering of blacklights, but unfortunatly it is currently not possible with those renderers.
I struggled with making some nice neon glowing black light materials a few years back. It wasn’t that fun, and I wasn’t too happy with my results. But I am going to follow this thread and see if you can come up with some good results.
I’m interested in creating black light effect too. I loved the VW’s tent in Cars.
In VRay, could you not just pump a bright colour into the self-illumination slot of the shader? You could create a regular light with a dark purple colour do give more of a black light effect.
