If you decide that the lamp you have selected is not correct for what you want to achieve,
you can change the type in the properties window. Click on the different lamp types in the
“L amp” t ab.
Spot lamps or spotlights are particularly useful in creating great effects. They can be
scaled, rotated, and positioned to cast shadows and they can also be used with a halo ef-
fect to provide a simulation of a light shining through a fog (Figure 7.3). For this and other
lamps, experiment with the settings and record your results.
