ShadeShift | 3ds Max pluginMasks that follow the light
ShadeShift is a 3ds Max material editor node that allows you to pick one or more lights in your scene. Wherever they hit your object directly, ShadeShift turns that into a mask, so whatever you plug in follows the light instead of covering the whole surface.
