how would you light a lamp? I'm not sure which light to use, thanks

[3dcognition]

@buzzbunny7 - sorry for a late reply - but I'd use a spot.

Thanks so much for this - it's nice to see a very simple explanation of this. Your soothing voice helps too!

Great job.

Thanks for the good word.

Also, appreciate the feedback Binary and redniv.

@niburu2012 I'm having the same issue

[SatoKazuya]

Why is it why I do lighting, I can't see the effect of the light? All I see is the coordinate but no brightness/darkness change on my model when I move it.

I really love your tutorial...I believe you are a good teacher. I have one request to you if you have time...Could you please make a tutorial on soft shadow + simple exterior lighting.

Hey dude, could you help me, lights dont work on my Max at all, I only can see the ambient, nothing else.
