3D Studio Max: A light material
I am making a medicine cabinet that has florescent lights behind a translucent panel.
i don't need to model any lights, just the panel. what type of material should i use to make it seem like the panel is lit from behind? it doesn't have to emit light, just look like it is. i'm using 3ds max 9 and Vray |
