  Applying a light source to a specific object (Message 1 to 4 of 4)

How can I apply a light source to only a specific object?  The
"projected_through" command doesn't get quite what I want, because as I
understand it, the command "projected_through{object}" will still cast shadows
from the object onto the others, which I don't want.  Does that make sense?

Thanks, GB

Never mind, I just discovered light groups.  Please excuse the spam.

No problem, it's the "new users" forum after all ;)
