Bryce F.A.Q (Last Updated: 2024 Nov 08 7:02 am)
Well, I do that, but it's hopeless. The damn thing turns all over the place - I cant even tell where its pointing. Is there any MARKER where its pointing at - that works? In max - and I'm sure others - you can VIEW where the spot light is aiming. works great there. I read other posts where byrce people dont use spotlights either - is this why? cause they s*ck big time?
You have 3DMaxitis. Aiming lights in Bryce is a piece of cake. After you create your light select the "Edit" palette at the top of the window. This allows you to move the light one axis at a time. It also helps if you select orthographic views when aiming each axis, ie: side, front, top. Bryce offers several ways of doing just about everything. You are trying to do it the way it is done in 3DMax, which is wrong for Bryce. If you read the manual, simple things like moving lights and objects on their axis, are explained and illustrated. I have been using Bryce since version 2 and I have never had a problem aiming a spotlight. In fact I use them all the time. Don't try using Bryce like 3DMax and you will have fewer problems. As a friend of mine is fond of telling me "It's a poor craftsman who blames his tools". The software works just fine and the lights don't "suck bigtime", you just don't have a feel for them yet.

I never use spotlights in Bryce ... why?
cause i find it impossible to aim them.
For example, in 3d max, you can view where the spotlight
is going. ( this is not any easy option to figure out though, but works great. )
How do you all aim a spotlight in bryce? ( 5 )
exasperated. thanks alot.
