Sure, I'll post screenies of the materials and test renders, plus P8 and P9+ version props, but I want to get the materials dialed in first, and each test render takes a while since they have to be final quality I'm using two lesser machines. Big girls will continue to be busy for another day and a half.
Miss Nancy; The prop consists of three concentric tubes, innermost is the visible neon, middle is the unseen IDL emitter, and outer is the fade-away aura. The neon and the aura should always be visible, including in reflection. The IDL emitter should never be seen; only the light which it casts should be seen.
For P8/PPro2010, I use a different emitter, which is smaller diameter tubing than the neon and thus nests hidden inside the neon. But even when the neon has casts shadows un-ticked, it considerably attenuates the light cast by the emitter, and the smaller emitter surface area is more prone to "IDL splotchiness", and the emitter still shows if viewed through a refractive window.
