"In this case the light bulb is not at all going to be simulated well by a point light."

I'm trying to understand why. Because of the artificially high intensity close to the source point? Or did you mean... by an area light?

Thanks

GAH! Whenever I write about two alternatives in rapid comparison, I mix them up. I need to edit that but I can't - stupid time limit. What is the point of that exactly?

(That's rhetorical. I know the point. I just disagree with the premise and frequency. The number of times I need to correct a mistake far exceeds the number of times some dipwad will hide some insult he wants to rescind.)

Thanks - good catch. I meant area light is not a good tool here.

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)
