After learning fluorescent effect with a scene that is no wall, now we will try to apply it inside a room. Most blender user will wondering if the process is the same, the answer to that question is not. It’s needs advance knowledge about blender 3d but still easy to follow, like this blender 3d tutorial: create neon effect in a room article.

We will still using objects from our previous post, a text and a sphere. If you have a plane like me, because we don’t need it anymore, you can delete it.

For replacement object, create a cube and place your neon objects inside of cube. If you want to view on wireframe mode just press Z on keyboard.

Enter edit mode and active Face Normal on mesh display ( shortcut N ). You will see 6 blue lines that directed outside of cube. If you want to place the camera inside the cube and using blender 2.78, I think you will not find any problem at all when you try to render. But, if you place the camera outside the cube, you need to use flip direction tool (shading /uvs) on shelf tool.
