Laser Tutorial

Rescuing my old tutorial, http://www.ingiebee.com/Blendermania/Lazer.htm - I redid it and made a basic tutorial for beginners who want to learn how to produce a static laser effect.

It can be read via http://dm07.net/Blender/Laser-Tutorial.html

More tutorials coming soon! Do you have any requests? Please tell me and I’ll see if it’s possible to make one.

good tutorial! I need to learn how to do fog. That may be really noobish but I have no idea.

watchthis:

I’ll see what I can do with a fog tutorial… what kind of fog are you looking for? World-like fog (outside) or smoky effect with a lamp?

smokey effect type stuff, like sun rays coming through clouds

watchthis:

Ironically, I already am planning on rescuing my other old tutorial and redo it. It involves dust/smoke effect lamp. I’ll make a new post with it when it’s published. :slight_smile:

Thanks for the tutorial.

Is their anyway to make the laser beam show a reflection in the mirror?

made_a_lamp: For some reason, the ray mirror doesn’t reflect halo as far as I know, but there is a work around for now, use Envmap instead to render a mirror, it will render the laser you have right now.

More details can be found via http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/Manual/PartIV/Environment_Maps

I hope it helped some. Good luck.

thanks realy helped:)

DreamMaster, this looks like it’d be a great tutorial (and it’s just what I need for my current project), but upon clicking the link, I get a page saying:

Will it be fixed? Please? :o

As the tutorial page is still down, can somebody please describe how to create such a mirrored laser beam like the one in the image from made_a_lamp?

Greatings,
