Rick Martin Posted May 20, 2010 Share Posted May 20, 2010 I'm wondering if someone can give step by step instructions on getting a spotlight instrument to render shadows. On rare occasions, I need to quickly mockup a focus, and with the my version of Spotlight (2009) what I used to do doesn't work anymore: -Extrude shape for a 'floor' -Extrude other shapes (proscenium, furniture, whatever) -Add a light (eg source-4 26 degree) -Give light a height -Add a focus point / assign to light -turn on the beam -select render with shadows not enough - can someone help? Thanks! Quote Link to comment
michaelk Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 Are you turning on the light from the visualization palette or clicking "draw beam" in the OIP? The first will turn on the light, the second will only give you a visual representation of the field and beam angles (and block some of the light!) Quote Link to comment
