I would defenitly use a manual created direct light source with very low intensity to recreate the "Mystery artistic soft light that shows lasers" Of course in such situation nearby a nebula, it's totally different.   Are you rendering with Arnold?! sly Sylvain Lebeau // SHED V-P/Visual effects supervisor 1410, RUE STANLEY, 11E ÉTAGE MONTRÉAL (QUÉBEC) H3A 1P8 T 514 849-1555 F 514 849-5025 WWW.SHEDMTL.COM <http://WWW.SHEDMTL.COM> VFX Curriculum 03: Compositing Basics mail to: s...@shedmtl.com On Jun 25, 2014, at 1:58 AM, Nancy Jacobs <illus...@mip.net> wrote: On Jun 25, 2014, at 12:14 AM, Jason S <jasonsta...@gmail.com> wrote: Plus mistery soft light from a galaxies that always happens to be somewhere around so that there may be light, with dust in space so we can see lazers :) That's what I'm counting on! That "Mystery soft light". Since what I'm doing can have a  bit of 'artistic license' ;-)... Though I am making it generally correspond to the starfield light. After all, one can see in old paintings the 'heavenly light' thing... Where you don't really question where it comes from too much if it works in the painting...
