Can you look thru the lights in poser to see where they are pointing?

under cameras they are listed as shadow cams

So is that TTFN or TANSTAAFL?

If you need it pointing at something in specific, select the light, then go to object point at.

Jim gave the correct answer. Use the ShadowCams to view where the lights are pointing.

Keep in mind that a ShadowCam's actual function is to calculate the position from which shadows will be cast, and that the ShadowCams CAN be translated and rotated away from their light's actual position or point of view.
Make sure the ShadowCam is zeroed if you are trying to see what the light will hit.

How do you do that? Thanks

Select the shadow cam and zero its translation and rotation dials - just like a regular camera.
It will then be in the same position, and point the same direction as its light.
(and thanks for the Chat answer Uncle!)
