Rendering - light question

[The-trooper]

Hello everyone!

Is there a way to make the object, not shiny, but to shine light out
it self?
Like neon tube.
I have tried various combinations of object transparency and light
intensity but wasn't satisfied with the results. Also I had to place a
lot of point lights along the object, increasing rendering time
significantly.


Thanks in advance.

Try setting reflection to 0 and transparency to 1 for your material. Put a
light inside the solid. Render photo real or raytrace.
