Got an interesting problem to solve...
Have modeled one of those rotating police car roof flashers
reflectors, "spotlight" cones, red clear dome lens, and all.
Put a set of three flares per each refelctor (to get that tighter
and brighter flare effect) and a repeating envelope that ramps
the flares up when the reflectors are pointing straight towards
the camera, but remain at 50% otherwise.
ONLY problem is... he he he... the flares are WITHIN the clear
red dome of the flasher and GUESS WHAT!!!! There's NO way
in the world (of LW) that they'll show up IN FRONT of the reflectors
when Glow Behind Obj. is On as is desired when they rotate
away from the camera and go behind the opposite reflector
BECAUSE they are in fact BEHIND the red dome object part.
See the crude top view below:
_______________

| \ *<---- Flares
| ~|~ |
| [x] |<--- Clear red
| _|_ | dome lens
| / * \<-- Reflector
\ / * \ /

Anyone have a good way around this mutually exclusive lens
flare situation?
