Scotty, I don't think they are going to give us any dilithium.

I like it, especially the way the lazers light up the enterprise. I have a
few suggestions though.

It look a lot better if the lazers had some sort of blur or fall off. They
look like solid lines right now.

The planet is pretty dark. If the planet can shoot lazers its probably
pretty advanced in which case they'd probably have some lights on.

I tried media, and transparency, but niether seems to work.
if I make the beams too transparent, they have shadows on them, media won't
'scatter' ambient light...

Can I get a suggestion on how to do this?

I can try that

Nice image!

You might try using media with a "cylindrical" density. I've found it
to work well for this sort of thing. For example (using megapov or
3.5 beta)

camera {
   location <0, 0, -1>
   look_at <0, 0, 1>
  }

cylinder {
   <0, -1, 0>,
   <0, 1, 0>,
   0.01

   hollow

   texture {
     pigment { colour rgbt <1, 1, 1, 1> }
    }

   interior {
     media {
        emission 30
        method 3
        intervals 1
        samples 3
        density {
            cylindrical
            colour_map {
                 [0.0 rgb <0, 0, 0>]
                 [0.5 rgb <0.2, 0, 0>]
                 [1.0 rgb <1, 0, 0>]
                }

            scale <0.01, 1, 0.01>
           }
       }
    }
  }

You can adjust the profile of the beam by fiddling with the
colour_map. Hope that helps,

Scotty: This will last about 4 weeks.

Captain Kirk: We have only 2 days.

Scotty: O.k. I'll do it in one day.
