Hey guys and gals, kind of an oddball question here. I was wondering if there was a way (or trick) to getting a model to look like a laser. My bosses wanted me to make a picture representing one of our products getting zapped with the heat laser, showing how wide it was in comparison to the product. I've attached what I managed to come up with, and they were more than pleased with it. Me on the other hand...well, maybe I play too many video games, because I wasn't really feeling the laser effect.
I used the Red LED texture for it, but I'm wondering if there is a way (without involving Photo Shop) to making it look more like a laser. All I did was make a cylinder and apply the texture.
I'm still playing around and experimenting with it, but would love to hear some suggestions or solutions. Thanks!

Check out the GIMP
www.gimp.org
Free tool for the masses. I've been using it for yeeears. And it will do everything you need it to do for these steps.
In fact. Once you get up to speed with it, you can add the laser beam effect inside of Gimp without having to render it in PV360
