hi all,

I was curious if anyone knows how can I create cool laser effects. I have the "straight" lasers down, but I saw on a site:

http://www.3dinteractive.com/2k.htm

Dave Jerrard, wrote a tutorial online and in a "July/June" issue of NewTekniques, on where you can create something like the Ghostbusters Plasma streams. But the NewTekniques website is gone.

Thanks.

I'd suggest a mod of the old 2 planes laser
using a texture map / clip map for the planes
have a look on Xmess's site www.dd3d.org at my TS tute on Lasers.. the basic info is easy to change following that
