Quote - You can change the start and end distances on a point light...doesn't that help some?
Those parameters only apply to the linear falloff mode. Falloff begins at the start distance and the light goes to 0 at the end distance.
They should have used the start distance for the inverse falloffs, treating it as the radius of the light sphere. Since it defaults to 0, the default would be a traditional point light, but for those situations where it matters to adjust, you'd adjust the radius. Too bad.
Renderosity forum reply notifications are wonky. If I read a follow-up in a thread, but I don't myself reply, then notifications no longer happen AT ALL on that thread. So if I seem to be ignoring a question, that's why. (Updated September 23, 2019)
