So, here's the situation: I'm working in POV-Ray, and I get an idea like
this: "Hey, maybe I could light up this whole column of objects and have
them all glow due to a light-emitting object at the bottom!"(I'm using
radiosity). Is there any way to use an interior to get an effect similar to
what happens when you feed light into a fiber optic line, where the entire
wire seems to glow with a quiet red light? I don't want to fake it by using
ambience, I want this to be an authentic glow. Has anyone achieved this, or
knows how?
