Final Product What You'll Be Creating

In this tutorial by Chandan Kumar, you’ll learn how to create a flickering light bulb in 3D Studio Max. Chandan will explain how this effect can be achieved using the power of parameter wiring. The benefit to this is that we will not only be able to control the light’s intensity, but the attenuation and material settings as well. All by simply changing the light’s multiplier value.
