Using a recangluar spotlight with an extreme aspect ratio and reducing
the hotsopt to zero is as best as you an do with R3. The light
intensity is still originating from a point source however, so a true
cove light is very difficult to acheive – yes, we NEED linear light
sources AND parrallel lights!
If you absolutely need the effect, one workaround is actually to use
a projector light (excluding everything but the wall and placed far
enough away to cast even illumination) that is using a vertical
gradient bitmap. This does work and makes others ask how you did it.
