tech support!!! How do you use object as light source?
I've got a couple of fluros in my scene and they're meant to be emitting light - I have the incandescene bumped up and I'm using a point light to simulate the light flood - problem is, it's reflecting off the ceiling and looks all wrong. How do I fix this - do I use an area light or swap to a spot - its so going to ruin my existing light setup.. Grrrr...
TGG

Just a curious mind thing but will unlinking that suface make the scene render that bit quicker? (Due to the obvious need to not do that extra calculation factor)
