Hmmm... A question has just occurred to me, which I don't have time to follow up. Does anyone know what the difference is between an omni and a spot? OK. What I know. - The spotlight takes it's geometry from lights/spotlite.obj. Fine. But the spotlite.obj is nothing but a cylinder and 2 box props, and in a light file it's set to display EDGES ONLY. So the spotlite.obj is only a cartoon, basically. And the omni's resource is listed as geometry 7, (presumably, that idiot circle thingy), so it seems that the only difference is the light type - 1 or 0. The channels appear to be identical, except that an omni has the Angle/Dist channels hidden. I don't know if I have time, but I'm going to try unhiding these shannels and see what happens. Les. You mentioned a hybrid light. Where and what is it? If we could mix omni/spot functions, we might be able to get somewhere. mac
