Hello Jack, and thank you for taking the time to answer my question.!
Your shadows tips will come in handy, specially the part in which you explain how to simulate shadows with black text. However, I think my commentary about shadows diverted the actual focus of my question.
What I really want to know is how to make an elliptic spotlight. What I am trying to do is, without moving the source of the spotlight, make the cone of light less tall and more wide. Is that possible? Currently the cone always lights in a completely circular fashion.
I don’t think I understand your last commentary, how do I make a spotlight 3D and how do I change its perspective?
