Quote - That is actually what I tried. Since a spotlight has no surface parameters, this will have to be done in Reality? Whichever way, I couldn't get it to work.

Of course it's in Reality, I  thought this was the Reality thread ;) Light control in DS is not good for you if you are using Reality/Lux, you need to add the texture in the Reality light editor. Add  the spot to the scene, call Reality, edit the light and add the texture of your choice. 

Cheers.
