I am rather new to LW, one project I'm trying out is a rectangular
light-beam. To do this, I created a box of 50x50x200. What I want
to do is have the box start solid at the top and fade out compleatly
by the bottom using the fractual texture. From what I understand,
LW works in percentages for its textures (i.e the center of my box
would be 1,1,2). Usually I end up with parts semi-transparent, but
no fully transparent parts in the right places (event with the
amount set to 100%) Any ideas? (or someone to walk me through this
