@okh
all downlights here are directed towards my better half's wardrobe while mine is left in darkness
What had you expected? You men can wear the same suit for years ( like Obama, who didn't change his tux once during his eight years of presidency)
Imagine a woman wearing the same dress twice! The Norwegian princess recirculating her wardrobe... pføy!!!
The fashion critics had a field day!
So stop sulking! Ever since the early stone age, any caveman has been capable of examining the contents of a dimly lit armory
. It seems the cutout is less important than I thought in terms of using lights placed above the ceiling.
With the entire light source above the ceiling, you definitely need a cut-out for the light to be visible.
I have taken the liberty to adjust the height of your light sources, and made some renderings:
Here is the original file, unchanged, but with a different camera angle, that allows us to se the ceiling. Notice the black dot in the middle of the right downlight. That means the light source is intersecting the ceiling, whereas the left downlight, with a cut-out, is perfect.
Here I have adjusted the height of the light source of the downlight with the cut-out ( and made it smaller in order to get a more focused light beam).
On the right rendering, both light sources are above the ceiling.
BTW: Your reference to Thread 7108 reminded me of a question I forgot to ask:
How did you make the SVG-file with the animation?
