Hello again.

The lighting studio in VisualStudio+ appears not to be be working "correctly" for me. I'm trying to create a spotlight effect from a lamp i generated earlier to another object (both on a flat surface).

The lamp itself (I'll use crude terms for measurements) is 250 right, 135 up and 80 forward from the planes (the 3 interecting planes, starting point). The other object is 70 to the right and 400 approx fowards.

I've tried typing these measurements into a default spotlight setting, but it gives me a lighting effect that more looks like it's coming from about +1000 in the x direction (with no x or y). I wonder wheter this is just a camera problem or something... Anyway.. any help will be appriciated.

And just for commitments go :)... i need an answer within 5 hours (after this was posted).

If you need any more info to help me fix just give the word and i'll come running. (really desperate to make this work).

thanks in advance
