Circle/Rectangle Determine the shape of the falloff and hotspot areas. Set
Circle when you want a standard, circular light. Set Rectangle when you want
a rectangular beam of light, such as light cast through a window or doorway.
Aspect Sets the
aspect ratio on page 7914 for the rectangular light beam. The
Bitmap Fit button lets you make the aspect ratio match a specified bitmap.
Default=1.0.
Bitmap Fit If the light's projection aspect is rectangular, sets the aspect ratio
to match a particular bitmap. This is useful when you are using the light as a
projector light on page 8099.
Manipulators for Spotlights
Manipulators are visible and usable while the Select And Manipulate
button
on page 2613 is turned on. This button is on the default main toolbar
on page 7498. When you move the mouse over a manipulator, the manipulator
turns red to show that dragging or clicking it will have an effect. Also, a tooltip
appears, showing the name of the object, the parameter, and its value.
TIP When you select multiple spotlights, all their manipulators are accessible.
For more information on using the spotlight manipulators, see the Procedures
section at the top of this topic.
Hotspot manipulator: In a viewport, drag the hotspot circle to adjust the
hotspot value.
Falloff manipulator: In a viewport, drag the falloff to adjust the falloff value.
The hotspot and falloff constrain each other, as their spinner controls do.
