I went to an Anshe Chung themed area, Swanson Schliegel, or something. They have the coolest streetlights there. They kinda pulse with a soft hazy light. Soooo nice.
How did they do that?

I have not seen that - But probably its a particle effect. You can learn more by visiting - its in the sky TP up: Teal 180, 74, 21 (PG) But from now the light effects (also?) can be done by using edit:  Make a box and start testing! its fun! /Pic made at the Irene bridge in Irene sim - our home in Otherland/ **** /Tina - with the EXAKT company. |

PetGirl is right, it is a particle effect. Search for Particle Lab in find places (if it is still there) to learn more about particles.

Apart from the particle method, there is also a hidden function in the debug menu. To turn the debug menu on, hit ctrl-alt-D.
Go to Debug > Rendering > Light Glows
Try and rez a prim and set it to become a light. You should see a halo around it, as you described. I suspect this will be a future feature that you can set on prims to cast a glow, but for now, its just experimental.
It does however look quite pleasant, especially on larger prims, where you can't do it with particles.

But who many know about it? And remember its the viewer that decide to use it or NOT in preferences-.. and is it same at AL kind of cards - monitors? Curious. /Tina - I that do EXAKT lamps with light in SL |
