Hi all!
I've got a question for all XSI users.
I try to read on the manuals but I can't find the answer.
I need to project a image with a light, for example to simulate the shadows from a window on a table but without model all the window, or, for another example, to simulate the shadows of a tree and his leafs on the ground without create and model all the tree.

How can I do it?

I know that in Lightwave 3D 5.5 I can do it about two years ago when I was a LW user, but in XSI I don't know how to do it.

thank in advice.

Select the spot, open the Render Tree, create a sib_light_projector (not sure of the name) (in Nodes > Lights > More...), and replace the soft_light with it.

Then connect an image node into the color input of the sib_slider_light_proj (or maybe shadows if just want shadows, again not sure cause I don't have XSI in front of me atm).

Hope this helps
Salutations - Cheers
