light paint with cycle?

i saw latst video from Max Hammon which gies more details on how to set up0 the light paint

and it’s a lot more details and fun to follow

now i got a few problems

vlight paint is very interesting with cycle and powerfull!
easy to create special light effects which would
be very difficult to do fast using normal lamp sources!

1 - i got the almost a sphere
but not quit 100 % may be 80 % so what can i change to get 100 % sphere.



so what did i do wrong here not to get 100 % sphere?

also how can i set up the camera to see the monkey inside in top viewport?

2 - For seeing the monkey in the sphere i think you need to set the camera inside the sphere or not ?

3 - now would this be possible in normal renderer or only possible with cycle ?
which we should have in 2.61 near christmas time i guess
for now need to use SVN like 206
but 206 is not very stable difficult to select menu’s item on my vista 32 bits
and when using Cycle renderer window it becomes even more sluggish
mind you i don’t have a big Video card just the minimum with intel chiptset
but still fun to experiment with this Light painting feature

4- only difficult thing i guess is where is the top bottom sides in the scene when
you light paint on the plane but i guess with time i’ll get the felling of it!

thanks to Max Hammon for your video
i did learn a few tricks for 2.6

nice work man keep it up
