This is one of those forehead-slappers that, after you get it, you wonder if it wasn't so obvious that everyone else was already doing it. (and if it was, you guys be kind and humor the 3D-challenged guy) After tweaking the lights until they are just perfect, I would adjust a camera or pose and then have to adjust each of the lights for the new angle or position. Very time consuming. Duuhh! Parent all lights to invisible prop and adjust the prop.

You're right - it is a forehead slapper :) Paul ::slightly concussed::

Huh, that's a neat idea. I keep forgetting you CAN parent lights... Now I'm going to have to go back and re-do an image correctly, with a properly parented spotlight and all... Maybe it'll come out decently this time... :-) Thanks!

There should be a special forum called "Forehead Slaps".
