Post processing glows and light rays // Roundtable 1  |   Order by default Post by davidjohnson // Jun 18, 2006, 7:26am davidjohnson Total Posts: 169 I am stumped on this one. I have a light, far in the distance that has a post-processing glow/light rays on it. As the animation continue through, object come in front of the light, and yet, the light rays go right through the object as if it were not there at all. This of course ruins the effect. Is there a way around this? I do understand that post-processing is after, but wouldn't it consider if there was an object in front of the light? Is there another way of doing it? using ts 6.5 Post by TomG // Jun 19, 2006, 3:28am TomG Total Posts: 3397 Ensure that shadow casting is enabled for the light. Most lights have shadow casting off by default, eg point / omni lights. Also be sure that the object itself casts shadows, again the glow will show through even if the light is set to cast shadows. HTH! Tom Post by davidjohnson // Jun 19, 2006, 3:59pm davidjohnson Total Posts: 169 Thanks, but what I did is performed a multi-pass sweep render of the scene. I greenscreened the stuff I wanted to stay in front and that seemed to work. Post by Zeipher // Jun 20, 2006, 7:21am Zeipher Total Posts: 224 Lol! It's a bit more complicated than turning on shadows, isn't it?
