I have decided to also look at coloured lenses .... so adding that to my tutorial.

Here is a red lense test I am working on.

I have been working with iray - testing lense textures for car headlights. I hope to get the updated tutorial online in a few weeks. I will show an updated Mental Ray texture and the iray texture.

Here is the iray render of a spherical car headlight.
