Hello there guys.
I'm trying to make an animation where i have a sphere with holes and i would
like to put inside something like a light And be able to see light rays
coming out.
Does anybody know how to get this effect?
It must be looking like a sphere before an explosion.
thanks Alfredo.

I've never done this... but try using the megapovray and try using
physics... just a thought... oh and the light... there is a glow feature in
here somewhere that might get you the desired result.

camera { location -z*10 look_at 0 angle 35 }
light_source { <100,200,-300>, .5 media_interaction off }

sphere
{ 0,4 hollow
  pigment { rgbt 1 }
  interior
  { media
    { scattering { 1, .2 extinction .1 }
      samples 50,100
    }
  }
}

light_source
{ 0, 1
  fade_distance 2 fade_power 2
}
sphere
{ 0, 1
  clipped_by
  { union
    { #declare Angle1 = 0;
      #declare Angle2 = 0;
      #while(Angle2 < 180)
        sphere { y, .1 rotate <Angle2, Angle1> }
        #declare Angle2 = Angle2 + 2;
        #declare Angle1 = Angle1 + 42;
      #end
      inverse
    }
  }
  pigment { rgb <1,.7,.4> }
}

  I wonder how megapov's physics feature could be used to make visible
light rays...

you know what I mean warp... i'm not feeling that hot... depending on how
real you want to make something... you can use megapov to create a dust
cloud from a ball using repulsive forces on particles, and then you can do
post processing... or... you can do what you just told him to do which would
be much easier

- a much less hungover
