Quote - It would be nice to click a button on a headlight of a car and turn it into a spotlight as well as still being a model.
Well now how is Poser going to know if it's the headlight of a car? Why not just parent a spotlight to the headlight and turn it on or off as desired? ;-)
Speaking of headlight though, I'd like to see Poser have a headlight like alot of other apps (like Softfimage) have. It's a light that shines out from the camera so that what you're working on is always illuminated so you can see what you're doing. But it doesn't render or contribute to the scene lighting at all, it's just there so you can see and can be turned on or off as needed.
In Poser if you have a dark scene or darker areas you have to make a light just to be able to clearly see what you're doing.
If not a headlight, it could at least have some sort of overall ambient light you can turn on so you can see what you're doing - again, one that doesn't contribute to the scene lighting, just an overall "helper" light.
Yes you can make your own headlight by parenting a spotlight to your camera and have it pointing in the same direction, and I do that, but I have to remember to turn it off all the time before rendering, and it's easy to forget.
Just sayin' and all. :-)
