that is from that ice cube tut huh?? I never understood that either but let me say this. You dont really need whatever v is the only thing I would think they are talking of is the attenuation. But I would only set my far attenuation that high. go figure, maybe they are using like max 3. I check 4, 4.2 and 5 not “v” ---

I use max 3 and that doesn’t mean much to me either? Especially with a value of 110… I’d second the attenuation guess, its the only thing I can think of that fits that kind of value. ---

ok i think i changed something else but if its not that important i think i will just leave as is. otherwise this is a really great tut! i am going to e-mail them asking to change it, or at least explain it. Thanks again! ---

it may be the Z position value! But I’m not sure! Try if the value 110 is something “level to the spotlight”! I doubt it 😛 ---

speakin’ of lazy I haven’t opened up flash nor 3ds max for many weeks! The thing that has been on my mind lately is just to PLAY SOMETHING! I downloaded the vitcong mp demo and now all I do is play that! I can’t even tell if I like the game anymore! I’m like a slave! Every time I try to open up flash or 3ds max I get a bad feeling like it’s gonna crash and I have to reinstall every thing or sth! ok gonna go play sth now… ---
