I'm trying to set up a number of lights in which each individual light affects only certain objects.
In searching the lighting tutorials and net I could only find some reference to creating a light bank.
I did see an Odforce forum reference to a guy asking the same question but for some reason the forum seems to be inaccessible at the moment.
So in reading the docs it seems to do what I want I have to link my light to the specific objects I want to be only affected by that light.
The docs tell you how to create a light bank in a window pane, and my light is listed there.
However I can't do the next step that the docs describe, which is:
Link a light to specific objects
1. In the spreadsheet, click the “Link” cell for the light.
2. Click the icon to select the objects from a chooser, or if you know the paths of the objects you want to link, you can edit the cell contents directly.
Editing this cell automatically sets the Light mask on the linked objects. You can use a name pattern (for example hero*).
My problem is that I'm not sure what the docs mean by “Link” cell for the light.
I am assuming its my light listed in the data tree, and I've tried clicking on that and others but I can't seem to get any “objects from a chooser” which I am assuming if I could would let me link the desired object/s to my light.
Perhaps I need to go about this in a different way that what I am assuming.
Any help is much appreciated. Thanks.
