Does anyone know how i can make a light cone fade as it gets further from the source? I have tried lowering range with the light, but the light cone looks the same and appears to go on forever.

Are you working in Carrara or RDS?

This was generated with a spotlight with default settings and the light cone range set to 50.00. Seems to fade out for me. I'm in RDS 5.5.

oh, sorry about the miscommunication. I am working in Carrara and I know RDS does that. But is there a solution for Carrara?

I've tried all i could imagine and i could find no way to achieve the effect in Carrara . That's strange ... If RDS can do that, Carrara should be able to : after all it's basically the same engine . Hopefully that will be fixed ! But maybe we're missing something ... litst

I think it was Raydream 4 or so that came out and screwed up the Rayflect light cone extension. Then they fixed it with a patch and it stayed fixed in subsequent Raydream versions. Then Carrara came out and the exact same light cone bug returned. I betcha in their rush to get it out the door, they ported the version 4 code for the light cone. We'll all just have to wait and see if they fix it anytime soon. tom
