How to make the billiboard light not to be buggy? - clock123 - 06-25-2012

I want to make a light emitting through windows and it gets out awful , is there anyway that i can make it smooth , and not so buggy?
when i'm standing near the middle of the window i'm seeing all the billiaboard light lines , and it gets out awful.

Move them around a little, reduce size etc. If you want them to be a real master piece you've got to spend like minimum 1 hour on them, but that is for a real master piece.

It's not possible from what i know, plus you wouldn't learn anything from that.

The issue is that you're trying to import a compound (at least from what i could duplicate on my end). Destroy all selected compounds before exporting.
