One of the most memorable and iconic scenes from 'Goldfinger' is the scene when James Bond is captured and has to escape from being cut in half by a laser. One of the models i have made is of the laser from this scene. I basically just started with a cylinder and extruded all the way down and beveled in as the laser tube gets narrower. For the swirl inside the laser i used the helix tool on splines and just cloned one and attached it to make a proper spiral. I put luminosity on the spiral and the laser to make them bright and also reflect off the glass on the laser. It took a while to figure out all the materials and why certain things weren't doing what they were suppose to. I used glass for certain sections of the laser but for some reason it wasn't being see-through and wasn't reflecting anything. After a lot of confusion as to what i had actually done it just turned out i had used the wrong material! Raytrace was the way to go apparently. Noted for future reference...
A couple of details still need to be added, but this is how it looks so far.
