Reply to: RE>2-color directional lightpo
I've learned (thanks Paul Levy) that unidirectional pfLightPoints, when
placed back to back, cannot be made to form a single seamless (2 color)
light. After some investigation, I've found that Performer clamps the
vertical and horizontal envelopes to 179.0 degrees maximum.

This leaves a 2 degree gap between each light when viewed from the side,
wherein both lights are invisable for a brief moment. Shouldn't the
envelopes be unrestricted, at least within 180.0 degrees if not 360.0?
