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.
