Lighting and camera

To make the front headlight beams I use two spot lights and adjusted the hot spot / beam to 20 and the fall off field to 25. The shadows were turned on and a volume light was added in the advanced effects panel. This created the visible beam. The actual lens covers of the lights were just self illuminating colours.

The lights were linked to the car with the select and link button. This kept the beam fixed to the car as it travelled along the path constraint.


I had lots of problems with exposure when using the day light system in this scene so to overcome this I placed an omni light at the top of the scene and linked one to the car for extra illumination.



To be able to see the wheels on the car rotate I attached a camera to the side of the car filming it from a side view.
