maps on lights

[Tok Tok]

Hi Andrey,

It would be great to have an option where you would be able to view a texture on a light in the viewport. I often use gradients on my lights to get reflections look better but it hard to see how the gradient is oriented. I sometimes have to make the light visible again and then point my camera to it to be able to see it. Other renderers don't have this and I always missed it so it would be great to have this feature!

Thanks.

Best,
Joep

I would recommend to use regular geometry with emission material. 3ds max doesn't allow to shade light sources.

I try to avoid that because it's a lot of extra clicks to get to the settings, but thanks for the suggestion. Too bad max does not support this.
