Lights in editor

Recommended Posts

Guest gobamago936

While trying to edit lights in the editor, I can'y seem to change the shape of the light. example some lights done in the LA 2.0 modd are square and fill the shape with light, others are just kinda round. any light I add are round only. Is there a way to change the shape of the lights to square or rectangle and where they fill the shape of the lens. It just seems to me it would be more realistic to have the light fill the square lens and not just be a circle. thanks

What you square/other shaped ones you are talking about are called Polygons.

In the light dialog, you'll see on the right hand side "Edit mode" with "Light" and "Polygon". When you are in that mode you can then use Poly buttons under the regular light buttons. After you add a polygon you can click on your model where you want to place the polygon and create 4 points ect. and move them to where they need to be as well as change colour etc.
