Glen, Maybe what's needed is something like a 'Show Bone Influence' display, like the 'Show Fog Effect Radius' or the 'Show Spot Radius' switches. I'd take almost anything that would reduce the trial-and-error system as it now is. Elliot

Elliot, Yep, I would like to see a display, such as the one with fog. However, if you could select those points and group them in the first place, there wouldn't be any need for a marker! Now, how about a sketch tool to draw out a wierd light falloff!!??? GM

Glen, "Wierd light falloff" Sounds like you're trying to alter reality. Actually, I guess LW does that anyway. Elliot

Elliot, Well, yes and no. LW does do a light fall off, but what I would like is a flare pattern based on a shape you could draw… such as an explosion…which is never always round…and LW flares are always round. I guess you could mask over a "glow behind" flare with a black "cookie" and then composite the effect, but it still wouldn't look right. Any way, as I said in the first post, all I want is for bones to become super useful… anything else is candy… I want super bones! GM
