Assigning Lights To Certain Object
 

Hi All,

I am fairly new to maya so be kind please :D

I have a scene with several objects and lights.

I want some lights to only affect some of the objects in the scene.

I know this can be done, but do not know how.

All help much appreciated.

Regards,

The process is called "light linking".

Go to Windows>Relationship Editors>Lightlinking, and select either Object-centric, or Light-centric. With object, you select the object, and then the lights that affect it. With light, you select the lights, then the objects.

Have fun!
