RE: Blog: "tech feature: light masking"

So does each light have their own shape, or do they get parented to a single shape?

Please -REP me.
Honestly, please do. I want to see how low I can go!!
Ignore that error message too. Just ignore it and keep going to give me -rep.

You create a box shape and can then attach one or several lights to it.

Does the light mask have to be a fully closed cube/shape, or can you leave one side open, for example, to allow light to spill out of a doorway, but lightmask the other walls?

What you simply to is to make a box that cuts a corner and is then large enough to encompass the rest of the light.
