Yup! ...possible in AutoCAD2k7 (and maybe in the previous versions too :oops: ). All you need to do is to change properties of the bulb. Select it, open the Properties flag > 3D Visualization > Shadow Display - Ignore Shadows :D

Now make a custom material based on the following settings (2k7 style):

Template - Advanced

Ambient - By Object
Diffuse - By Object
Specular - By Object

Shininess - 0
Refraction index - 0
Translucency - 0
Self-Illumination - 80~90

Diffuse Map - None
Opacity - 90, Map - Any black texture (www.cadimage.net/postimages/fahim108_bulb_texture.jpg) - Fit to Object
Reflection - 0
Bump Map - None

Enjoy!! :shock:

Ill look forward to giving this a go at work on monday. Your renders have given me the autocad 3d bug again, I've spent along time away from autocad 3d after going down the road of Inventor, but now going to get back into it. :D GREAT WORK!

...thanks guys, I'd love to know if you people tried it out... as StykFacE said, it's freaking sweet indeed!! :D See if it works on an older version of AutoCAD also. Couldn't test that out! :unsure:

Do by chance have a tutorial for the rest of the drawing? Such as how you have lighting setup and how you made the plane it is sitting on mirrorlike?
