I didn't get around to try it until to day, but it works and looks very good.
And then I got an idea...
A downlight embedded in the ceiling must consist of minimum two elements:
A pipe (to perform the cut-out) plus a light source, since, as far I have understood it, a 3d model can't hold
both a cut-out and a built in light source at the same time.
But a reflector with a light source in it should be possible to make, and using a reflector formed as a spotlight
with a light source inside it, we will be able to easily rotate the light beam in any direction and almost any angle
we want, and not have to worry about the shape of the cut-out.
I thought it was worth a try.
Well, I gave up. My head wasn't working, so I ended up with a spotlight with no embedded light source.
But it works:
This is as far as I got: circle_cutout_with_spotlight.sh3d
Maybe you want to give it a try?
It's time to put the man in the spotlight...
