In this course we're going to look at something a little different, creating technically accurate 3D printed parts.

Point light with optical effects help!!
I'm trying to achieve a 'Mother Earth' scene with Maya, ya know, the Sun crescent ascending over the horizon (kinda classic), the prob is that i'm using a point light as the sun with optical FX, but no matter what i seem to do with the optical FX or render globals, the light shines 'through' the spheres {Sphere 1 is a phong with reflectivity set to 0} {sphere 2 (outter) is a lambert with transparency set to half} {glow type is linear with no halo} the point light is way behind the spheres?? what have i done wrong?

'cos what i'm after is a 'still' of the sun coming over the horizon of the earth, with a kind of 'diamond ring' illumination and about 1/3 of the sun showing, but that looks closer than i've had it yet, i heard tell somewhere that Maya doesn't handle 'real' light very well and that theres a plugin somewhere that will enable more real dynamic light effects maybe i'm asking too much of Maya alone?
