Making objects emit light? Need some help.

I’ve had this nagging question in my mind for years. How do I get geometry to emit light? light bulbs, street lights, car head lights, flash lights, ceiling lights, luminous dials and switches. Custom stuff. I ask because this seems like such a basic concept and I feel like I flew past it at some point. Do objects that require that part them emit light into a scene truly have to be rigged and parented in Layout, or can this be (or should this be) done in Modeler?

I’m not talking about having these lights light the whole scene, just add to it.

It’s this subtle kind of lighting that I can’t seem to find a tutorial on.

Recently, I’ve glanced at some tutorials on Luxigons. Is this the right path? Point me in the direction!

Student Work in need of advice

Hi I am Danny Johnson and will be graduating from the art institute of pittsburgh in less then 5 months, so what I have right now are rough demo reels. Some of the small shots will be re exported or taken out. But tell me what you think about any parts of it, what needs fixed, be as brutal as needed!

Star Trek: The Next Lens Flare Fiasco!

Ok, so I really loved the new Star Trek, the actors were perfect choices, the story was great, the characters spot on..and Nimoy….damn. But seriously is it necessary to have that much excessive rampant lens flares??? I could barely watch the movie I was so distracted by light flaring thru each and every frame of this overly posted film. If you were to shoot this film practically there would be 5 lights pointed directly at the lens at all times…..completely uncalled for….it looked like a bad student demo with high production value. And I’m sorry, Miniature ships comped properly BLOWS AWAY cg ships any day!

Great movie…SLOPPY DI.

Here’s hoping they will release a lens flare free version for the Blu-Ray….probably not tho…so I won’t be buying this one.

CG on “bad” deinterlaced footage

Hi,
i am adding some water FX for a clip, on some footage that has been shot with a Sony Z1 camera. The bad part is that it was shot using some fake 24p kind of pulldown straight from the camera. The actual footage is 29.97, interlaced of course, but has some kind of frame blending any 2 or 3 frames wich causes some very ugly flicker effect. Maybe some of you already know the camera and this feature.
I was not able to recompose it to some decent progressive format, and from forums reading i think that is not possible, due to the propietary method Sony has to produce that pulldown.

I am asking for some advice on how to deal with the progressive source coming from the 3d program comped onto this awful flickery shot.
Tracking has been a nightmare too.
Should i try to produce a 24p water effect and then try to carry it to the 29.97 rate? should that produce a similar look?

I am just starting this tests, but would be thankful to hear your opinions on this.
I would post some images and any test in this days.
Thanks in advance.
