Simple lightglow like in fog?

[alfabeta]

Hi

What is the best/simplest way in V-ray to set up lights with atmosphere/fog glow?

Example on what I want (the red lights): http://www.flickr.com/photos/lexrex/344444209/


Thanks from Chris

This is typically an effect I do in post. It is so much faster and flexible.

Yep, I agree... but I'm doing an animation :\ Have tried the standard Max fog and volume light, but I have had some flickering problems with this approach in animations before.

render out an objectid channel or a simple mask, and use it for the animation.?

Hm.. and then add a glow in AfterEffects perhaps... good idea.

SP3 will have real volumetric fog if you wanna go for the real thing the wait is well worth it :P

depends on the duration of the wait, right? Any known dates? Seems to be some lucky ones using it here already.

OK

So SP3a is already out
How do I approach setting up light volume for instanced lights? (I mean - do I select only one of instances or all of them??)
