DME Special Effect Operations
Linking and unlinking image and spotlight
The spotlight can move together with a DME image, or be fixed in place.
Source: Place the light source in source coordinate space. The spotlight is
linked and moves when the image moves.
Target: Place the light source in target coordinate space. The spotlight does
not move, even when the image moves.
Selecting the lighted area
You can select the area lit by the spotlight.
FRGD: The light strikes the image foreground.
BKGD: The light strikes the image background.
Both: The light strikes both foreground and background.
Surface Flat
For the currently selected light source only, you can forcibly make the image
surface effect flat.
This is effective when you have selected texture as image surface effect and
want a flat effect for one light source only.
