I'm wondering if someone can tell me how to light only one object in a scene? i.e making a light not emitt light to everything else, but one object.

The thing is, I got a scene with a lansdscape and a sun. The sun is supposed to pop-up behind the horizon, yawn and then start to glow (a invicible object in the shape of the sun with glow switched on). I want the sun to be lighted while it pop-ups and yawns, but I also want the lansdcape to stay dark...

I guess it might be something I have to do with the connection editor, but I'm not sure....

Thanks.
