I shpeak nubile fluently. >preview styles (round balls if they are still there or, window>check preview styles and click on far right ball. This takes a few moments to load textures...). opera, you've got enough power to do this. BEWARE this takes some pc power...at least with a big scene. On your main light...set angle start to 0. set angle end to 160. Still see everything? If yes, decrease angle end to where it just covers your target. If no, increase angle start until you see your target. This can make some dramatic cone effects, too. Now set angle start to .1(ex for closeups) and slowly raise angle end ...scene should go black and then slowly illumunate as you go up on "end"...The more you go up, the futher and wider the lit arc, hence you can light the chair and not the wall, if you want. Or, play with the blur on the shadows on the wall with very high light power, or even crisp (low) bias settings by using distant end...the great "fade to black tool". Distant end is always higher than distant start. reversing or bringing them together will produce a harsh black edge (which has its uses...) Otheres have better tuts...
