I am working on some renders for a small device made from frosted plastic, I am using the standard corona frost glass.
within the housing is a small red LED, need to get the light to work like LED, any tips?

thank you

Are you meaning the LED's appearance?

[rfollett]

yes, yours looks great! Is that a small light sphere in the LED?

[Beanzvision]

It's an area light inside the mesh with an IES file attached.

[rfollett]

great, can you upload the MAX file so I can take a look. I am very new to Max and Corona.
I apprciate your help

No problem at all. The above image was created in Cinema 4D but was just as easy to recreate in Max. The file is attached.
