Answer to why the spot lamp shines outside of the lamp-post.

posted to: Night Time Version

I'd like to answer your question regarding the fact that the spot lamp can emit light outside of the lamp-post although it's inside. Instead of changing the "Clip Start" you should go and play with the lamp "Radius". If the radius is larger than the walls that are containing the lamp, then it will shine outside.

    Great tip! My default radius was set to zero. Wondering why light wasn't working. This cleared it right up! Thanks!
