Re: 3D Animation Q/A

you can just make a bulb and turn up the self illumination, and if yu use radiosity or lighttracer, there is an option to turn the bulb into a light emitter.
alternatively, you can make an area omni, make it visible, and make it a sphere. I don't have max with me, but if you look in the MR omni optoins, look for a check box that says "make visible in renderer"
