<Also a projecor light using a bitmap of the shape you want to project on the cieling> I had thought of that (actually, in this case, it's a floor I'm trying to project on, not the ceiling). However, trying to match the shape to the exact curve of where the coffer intersects the wall and hence projects to the floor would be quite difficult. You'd have to pull the light quite far down from where the actual coffer would be, and eliminate a lot of objects it would shine on. It's just too difficult to plot such curves in any easy manner. I would need a new idea to make that one work.
