Light Radius
 

Hey guys,

I have a little problem with my scene, I don't seem to find an option to limit a radius of a light.
I am placing a point light and it lights the entire scene when I really want it to light only the close surroundings.
I have already placed a photo and a more detailed description of my problem here: http://forums.simplymaya.com/showthr...&threadid=7837

Would appriciate any help :)

Thanks!

Set the light's decay rate (attribute editor) to something else than "no decay". You'll propably need to increase the Intensity as well...

...or use volume lights...

It worked! thanks man :D
I used a point light (omni lights don't seem to have a decay option... right?)
Anyways, what's the benefit of using a volume light there instead?

Thanks a lot for your help!
