point light...

It maybe just me , but I cant seem to change the radius on the point light settings, anyone know how !?

Thats because a point light is a point, not an area. It has no size, or in other words, infinite smallness, kinda like a line with no width, dang, now I'm getting dizzy.

Is this a typo in the help files then !? under lights inks and why is there a radius setting at all !?

Hi,
the radius setting is greyed out at the moment. But I plan to add soft shadows to point light sources in the future. Then the point light won't be treated like a infinitesimal small point but as a small ball. At the moment the radius property is not in use. Sorry. On this point the documentation already explains the future behavior.

Bye,
Martin
