Anybody help in lighting?

[shoaibmarfatiya]

I want to creat lighting beam as text,means text extrudes as lighting beam not text itself. I did try it by volume lights without attanuations and decays but couldn't got satisfactory results, so please guide me properly.

Hmmmm tricky one......in which orientation do you need this to happen?

I think I understand the question but as geldslaw says.......an image of what you are trying to achieve would help us, to help you.

Regards.

Is it for a single shot or for an animation. If it is a single shot it would be a lot easier to do a render with the volume light. A render without the volume light and a render of the text to use as an alpha channel for blending the two.
