Khai: This is the question I was referring to (not your original post, post 11).. "erm... and Lighting is not used in Animation?" And that is what I was trying to answer. Lighting for movies and for stills DO differ (just visit a photographer's studio and a movie set and see..) --------- But why I brought the question up is because there's NO NEED to rotate a light +/- 360 degrees for a still shot. You just need to rotate it into the correct position (which is available within +/- 180 degrees). For animations, it might be easier to rotate a light as the camera view angle changes, depending on the scene. For stills, that should never be necessary. I was referring to the fact that these +/-360 settings in the tutorial (which are emphasised as important in the accompanying text) are in fact NOT important, and have a confusing effect. Oh, and BTW where I said "OK if you're a total newbie to lighting at all", I was using "you're" in its general sense, not specifically aimed at any one person (just in case anyone took it the wrong way. I admit it was badly phrased..) Cheers, Diolma
