The project I am working on has led accent lighting pocketed in the soffits. I built a custom solid sweep to create the illuminated tube. When I render it glows and shows up when visibile but doesn't "glow" onto the ceiling edge. I tried opening an uplight family and adding a light source definition. But how do I get the light source definition to follow the full length of the curve? I want it to indirectly light the little pocket it is in, rather than see the light source itself, so the pocket has a soft neon glow. Please give me some advice on how to achieve this. Thanks.

There is no curved light source. You either use a series of point sources or straight line sources. BTW - If the light source is inside your tube, your tube has to be at least translucent.

I am experimenting with using a series of small studio lights to try and get the effect and that seems to work. Thanks Hub.
