Tim G4 Posted January 16, 2001 Share Posted January 16, 2001 Has anyone had any solid success with the spot lights? I set them up, but they never apear where I want them to be, and if they do, they shine through solid objects. They are a pain in the ass. The point lights are fine, but the spots behave strange if you ask me. Quote Link to comment
Matthias Veen Posted January 16, 2001 Share Posted January 16, 2001 It sounds like you didn't select the 'cast shadows' option for the spotlight in the object info pallet Quote Link to comment

Tim G4 Posted January 17, 2001 Author Share Posted January 17, 2001 I didn't at first, but even with the cast shadows strange things happen. Do you find the tool (spot light) to be accurate? Quote Link to comment
Matthias Veen Posted January 17, 2001 Share Posted January 17, 2001 Spotlight works just fine with Renderworks. Pointing the spot to a specific target could be easier with a stratalike 'point at' command. This might be an idea for the wishlist. Quote Link to comment
NinjaZX7R Posted February 26, 2001 Share Posted February 26, 2001 What is your "Z-axis" elevation set at? I have noticed that the default insertion is 0'-0" and to get it to respond correctly, I have to change the default to my established ceiling height (normally in the area of 8'-0" or 96"). This and making sure the "show shadows" preferences have been activated, usually gives me the result intended. ------------------ C M Harada Perspectives Design Group, ink Denver, CO Quote Link to comment
