Default Emit light from an object

I know I've seen something like this before....maybe through stumbling around with the options of AC3D, but now I cant find it.

What I'm looking to do is emit light from an object (for example making a light bulb)

Thanks,

Josh

Default Re: Emit light from an object

Hi,
AFAIK there's no such option in AC3D.
You can add a light but it's a very limited feature, not intended for that purpose.

You will have an emitting light bulb effect by using a renderer, or a 3D engine.
If you are using PovRay the following link can help you :
