I am fairly new to maya so be kind please
I have a scene with several objects and lights.
I want some lights to only affect some of the objects in the scene.
I know this can be done, but do not know how.
All help much appreciated.

Get halfway through a model and find it's an unworkable mess? Can't add edge loops where you need them? Can't subdivide a mesh properly? If any of this sounds familiar check this course out.

Go to Windows>Relationship Editors>Lightlinking, and select either Object-centric, or Light-centric. With object, you select the object, and then the lights that affect it. With light, you select the lights, then the objects.
Have fun!
Imagination is more important than knowledge.
