Man, Mark, I've been following this forum and noticed how quickly you respond to the messages. This is quite incredible. Thanks.
I'm a bit surprised about the lights being linked to bones. What if I have a sphere and acube and I want to set separate lights for each object? This is kinda basic linking and I would not expected to have to have a right for every object in the scene. Just to be clear, I'm not concerned about keeping the light aimed at the eyes, that's fairly simple, I'm trying to avoid lighting the rest of the face. The target helper object would help me to aim it but then I will have to rely on a narrow beam and wide feathering of the cone to avoid lighting the eye socket. Am I correct?
Also, is there a way of setting up a light to only create specular effects without diffusion?

Thanks.

Paolo
