Creating SEARCHLIGHTS for 3D animation
Hi everyone,
I’m new here (and to After Effects) and am trying to create 3 “searchlight” spot-lights dramatically shooting up into the sky behind a bank building set on a hill for an animated commercial (fyi: the animation was modeled with ArchiCAD 10 & rendered with ArtLantis Studio 1.2.6 Rfc0 as an MPEG movie file).
Would anyone here be able to give me basic instructions on how to create these searchlights with After Effects? Any help will be appreciated.

You might want to check out the Lux plugin on trapcode.com. You can download a trial version to see if it works for you (purchase price is about $200).

If you don’t have the Bucks for the Lux, here is a link to a script that does what Lux does (and more-atmospheric fog in the light, if you want). It’s free, here’s an earlier reply, a link to the link;

It turns an AE light into a beam.
