Although i have tried the spotdecay, and youre rihgt it helps to some degree but the spotlight effect i want gets lost im afraid. I have erarlier tried subdividing the model in the modeling program i use, it helpt but it still looked like sh*t and was slowing down preformance. I tried applying the sds modifier as you said but it created the same effect as the subdivision only worse, i dont know how director subdivided but the entire model was transformed;-) The entire ide with lowpoly is thet it is easy on preformace, so id rather stay away from slowing everything down just to get som headlights on my lowpolycar......thanx though [To remove yourself from this list, or to change to digest mode, go to http://www.penworks.com/lingo-l.cgi To post messages to the list, email [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Problems, email [EMAIL PROTECTED]).
