oh I see - I thought you meant the laser itself was casting a shadow - I don't know if there is an option in the material settings to disable shadows (since the illumination coms from an emissive surface)

2022-04-22 13:12:27 +0000 UTCBrilliant! I wonder is it possible to make it reflect off a shiny surface? Also might I suggest a sequel to capture Star Wars fans? "I made a lightsaber in 5 minutes" but actually track it to a prop in your hand 馃榿
2022-04-22 00:28:46 +0000 UTCYes, but that turns off all the shadows. To do it right I think the beam would need to be made into a separate object to deselect only it's shadow option, but how?? ? Or maybe realize it and modify an attribute? IDK
