      Base render made in "High" preset and a quick volumetrics render overlayed in PP. I should have added some geometry to represent the spotlights, duh!

      I agree that we need a sphere with tinier mirrors; I used Notareal's for this one.

                      I think this picture belongs to this thread. But I am not happy with the reflection.

                        Pretty cool mirror balls you have there jo-ke. From my render in the previous post I remember that I had to increase the power of the spotlights extraordinarily to see the sparks on the surrounding walls...
                        ...er, maybe you should have some surface to recieve the reflected beams in the picture...
                        or do you mean that the volume light does not work right? in that case try to enclose the entire room with a volume - if you have only one cone for the main beam it could'nt work.
                        cheers

                          Hi Shura,

                          I'm raising this thread from the dead because I'm working on a disco scene and I was wondering if you would share these face me people from your scene... πŸ˜•

                          I looked for similar silhouette shapes but couldn't find anything as good... πŸ˜’

                          So in the end I decided to overcome my embarrassment and ask you this favor!
                          Again, thanks so much for your very inspirational work (I'm working on an event right now and I have no doubt your work has influenced me a lot - I'll post some views soon hopefully!).

                          Thanks!
                          Nicolas

                            Hi Nicolas, unfortunately most of the silhouettes are from a resource book I bought, so I cannot share them here. Dancing people are not easy to find, might make sense to trace some photos.
                            I've spotted some at Formfonts, but that's not free.

                            Have enjoyed watching your work on your blog, curious to see what you have in the making...

                              Hi!

                              Thank you very much for your your reply!

                              I think I'll go and trace some of these dancing maniacs then! (--> 😍)
                              That way I'll have something to share with you disco guys 😎

                              Thank you for your nice comment! It actually means much coming from you for I really like your work on lighting A LOT!
                              To be honest, you reminded me there's a link to my blog on my profile... πŸ˜• Had completely forgotten about that...

                              Thanks again, take care!
                              Nicolas

                                Oh that would be great. I'm also not happy with my people on the palladium- project
