I don't suppose anyone knows how to do the opposite, I want to be able to increase the width of the starting point of a spot light, for scenes like my lighthouse model?

Hi Sparrow,
At this point, that's not an option in Carrara. :-/

Yeh I thought so. You would think something basic like that would have been put in by now. Oh well, I'll go post a suggestion on the DAZ site.

Until they add the "real" option you may be able to do it with an inverted shadow on the light cone, look here about midway down the page:

Nice Wayne. I stopped following that thread before you posted your work around. I learn something every day. :-)

I'll give it a try. You know, another thing that would help would be some way to add lightcone to an anything glows. Have you choose a surface to be the emitter, so a spotlight wouldn't require that extra light source.. Looks like another thing I should put over at Daz's suggestion box.I looked at your tutorial site. Great site. A bit out of my budget I'm afraid, but the tutorials look great.
