How to create a down light embedded in the ceiling Does anyone have any experience or ideas about how to make a down light embedded in the ceiling? I played around with a few ideas and didn't get anything working, but I think I thought of a way to do this. It would be a bit difficult, so I'm hoping someone has better ideas. Here's my idea: It seems the only way to cut out a hole in a ceiling is using stairs, so I would create a fake round stairs just for this purpose. Fortunately, even if you set all of the textures as invisible it will still cut the hole. Next, it seems the stairs will always cut a whole all the way through the ceiling, where I want it only partially cut. So, I would need to create two levels of ceiling and have the stairs cut only through the bottom one. Finally, I would then position a down light object in the same place as the stairs. I think this will work. If I group the light and the stairs then it should be manageable. The biggest problem is that I would need to make sure the two layers of ceiling are always aligned correctly. Any other ideas are welcome. |
