Problem number two... Making a lantern

Alright guys (and gals) i now have a lantern I have made the ‘glass’ almost transparent, and have put a texture on it for detail. However, when I put a light source and a few halos in it there is no light emitted from the lantern itself. the glass is lit up, but no light gets outside it. And also, I cant see the halos inside the lantern
I gotta learn this blender doohickey…:mad:

NameWithHeld,

Just a thought, but for the lantern material itself and other materials, do you have “trashadow” toggled on?

Try turning off Ray shading for the light you are using inside the lantern. As for the halos, they should go through even solid(alpha 1.0) objects, so just try making them bigger. Awesome avatar picture , too!
