Pattern/gobo on a light?

Pattern/gobo on a light?

Just wondering if it is possible to add a pattern or texture to a (spot) light? I think this is called a 'gobo', although I could be wrong on that...

Why? If you wanted the illusion of (for example) a set of window blinds, tree leaves shadow, or the light from a stained glass window projected across an object in your image.

Anyway else to get this effect?

Roger, this isn't possible at the moment. As for suggestions; for simple effects you could change the colour of the lights but using image projection isn't possible at the moment, I think. :(
 
Hi,
that's right projective textures in a spot light isn't possible yet. In early days Cheetah3D had that feature but I disabled it for some reason I can't remember. :oops:

I've put it onto the todo list. Reactivating it shoudn't be to difficult, even although some of the old code is boken.

But it will probably not make it into v2.3. The 2.3 feature list is already overloaded.
