    Hello, Creative Cow people! I’m new to Element 3D and After Effects, and now, I am currently in an internship. My boss is a freelancer and he has this intro animation project. The picture below is the scene I made, now he wants the light to look more realistic and he wants the light from the filament to just be inside the bulb with only little light outside of it. How do I achieve this?

    Btw, I apologize for my bad English.

    If you have your light inside the element 3d engine, perhaps remove it (since it is saturating things too much) and composite the light over by using Tints, fills and glows in another instance of your bulb (perhaps with a green semi-transparent sphere inside it). Then use masks and mattes to confine this fake light exposure where you want.
