the bulb is attached to the arm of the lamp itself right? they aren't seperate pieces of geometery

which means, because the whole piece of geometry isn't moving the light isn't moving as well

the only difference really is that you can control a few parameters and also have more freedom on how you organize stuff in your outliner




that's a "Ch" pronounced as a "K"
