Hi Mike, Oops, sorry, let me clarify. I was fiddling with the falloff for the actual light itself, in the editor window (upper right part of the screen). Where you can adjust the power, softness, etc. Anyhoo, I didn't want to change any settings globally, I just wanted to change a setting for one light... for example, normally a spot light, say at a given power of 50, would project light like so: Light source -> air -> object a -> object b -> "end" "End" meaning that the light, at a power of 50, has no lighting effect at that range, as the object is too far away. Kind of like a dim flashlite in a big room where you can't see the other side. Now, I was looking to do something like: Light source -> air -> object a -> "end" -> object b Meaning, the light source would fade out entirely before hitting object b. I know it's not "realistic" but sometimes that's what you need :) I know I could move the light closer, and then decrease the value, but was hoping there was a slider for the same effect :) -Brian
