Quote - I'm not aware of any actual CG lighting problem (real scenario) in which a prop needs to ignore some lights or some shadows.
I've had to do that occasionally, although normally the other way round. Sometimes you have to give something a little extra light but you don't want to overlight the rest of it so you have a spotlight or whatever linked to the thing which needs extra light and set to not affect anything else.
Vue can do it, Max can do it (and I assume XSI as well) and it would be handy (I guess) for Poser to be able to do it as well - it's not realistic but it does help solve lighting problems.
In that case, linear won't make any difference.
