uhhhhhhh picture? The picture will help if you can get it up.
So I'm guessing you're trying to make something other than a yellow sphere or circle. In fact I'm willing to bet you're trying to make a sun complete with jumping flares. A close up sun like you would see in a NOVA episode.
Am I close?

I think this is the second time he's done this. The last time he posted a thread about a storyboard, but with no link.

Please email me if you want me to help you! All of my contact info is on [Link to isaacg.net]

What?!? I've seen your work. You understand 3dsmax. Unless you mean you don't have time to help him... that I would understand.

well if he's trying to make a sun with lots of lighting and different effects, i wouldn't be the guy to go to. I'm not that good.

Then how would you do it? That's really what he's asking.

Here's how I would do it with Mental Ray
Start with a Blend material.

SLOT 1: Use Arch+Design material. In the Main Parameters rollout set diffuse color yellow and set reflectivity to zero. In the Self Illumination rollout turn on self illumination (glow) and set the color to yellow.

SLOT 2: Same as slot 1 except make the colors Red or deep orange.

MASK SLOT: use noise set to fractal. Adjust the noise size and high/low threshold until it looks good and fiery.

In Mental Ray render scene> Renderer tab>Camera Effects rollout>camera shaders
Click none next to output and choose glare. Now drag the box into an empty material slot. From there you can adjust the amount of glare and stuff.

You can do that in photoshop if you're spending lots of time on the environment.
