lighting /ALIASed models
type: item
description: I apologize about posting before thinking, but it has been a little slow around here... Is it possible to light two views, one containing aliases of the models contained in the other, differently? For example: Model A contains the geometry and a single IDLgrLight (spot). View A is a "head on" view and contains model A. View B is an orthogonal view, containing an alias of A, and also containing a single IDLgrLight (ambient). What I would like is for View B to be fully illuminated by the ambient light but the ambient light has no effect. Like I said, I haven't thought about this, nor have I experimented. Yes. I know, I haven't done my homework... My guess is that this is not possible. I know I could *copy* the geometry into a Model B and display that in View B along with the ambient light but I am using my camera object which applies transforms to the models contained w/in it and without getting into the details this would be a hack I would like to avoid. -Rick
