"distance to egg shape" and "center to shield impact point" isn't quite the same
thing. i guess you want to get the point where a beam hits the shield, right?
for that i'd rather use trace() than struggling with the math.

thanks for the tip

Heres about half the models I found. There are no thumbs so this might help.

Yah, me too. I expected something like this existed and was the ticket.
I often wonder if I am doing something unecessary because I am unaware of the
alternate.
2 statements did it. THANK YOU! Just needed the guidance.

Do disruptor beams cast shadows?

They should cast light, not shadows. Use a transparent container filled with
emissive media, no absorbtion, and turn on radiosity with media on.

Did all that.

I've tried this before, and noticed that my example only works with spheres.
Any genius out there who can fill a cylinder?
Could use a good LASER macro here, I'll start:
This is NOT visible:
// ************************* WarBird *******************************
#macro laser(A,B,rad,C)
#local p_id = 0.1;
#local glow_state = 0.001; // fader
#local glow_colorturb = <0.3,0.3,0.3>; //magnitude Randomness to color
#local ColorJitter =
(<Hash2(p_id,1),Hash2(p_id,2),Hash2(p_id,3)>-<0.5,0.5,0.5>)*glow_colorturb;
#local Color =
(
C
*(1+ColorJitter) // Randomness to color
*(1.001-glow_state) // fader
);
#local ColorM = max(Color.x,max(Color.y,Color.z)); // highest RGB
#local Color = Color/2;
cylinder { A,B,rad hollow no_shadow
pigment {rgbf 1}
finish {ambient 1 diffuse 0}
interior {
media {
emission Color // color
intervals 10 // default 10
ratio 0.9

variance 1.0/128

method 2 //1,2,3adaptive
density {
spherical
density_map {
[0.0, rgb 0 ]
[0.6, rgb Color ]
[1.0, rgb 2*ColorM]
}
}
}
}
}
#end
/////////////////////hash.inc\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\
#macro Hash1(t1)
#local p1=sin(t1);
#local pf=cos(1e7*(p1));

#local p1=sin(t1);
#local p2=cos(t2*2.2361);

Replace the sphere by a unit radius cylinder with one end at the origin along
the Y axis. Fill it with media using the cylindrical pattern in place of the
spherical one. Scale it to the desired length and diameter, rotate it as needed
and translate it to the correct location.
