I'm trying to create an effect in C7 Pro where I tight beam of light (or a tube of light) passes over and around a person lighting up the person in the light over a narrow region as it passes.
I've tried using the tube light... can't get what I want.
I've tried using a torus prop and then using Anything Glows... nothing there either.  I can't get the light to just light a narrow region of the person.  I set it light only the person, played with the range and range falloff settings, but still no go.
It would be helpful if I could see what the orientation of the shape lights are in the scene, but they all look like bulbs.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
