Spotlight image projection

Spotlight image projection

I would love to be able to give spot lights textures to cast like a projector. I used to use this all the time in 3D Studio to replicate shadows being cast. Much faster than building geometry and actually computing the shadows.

You can do this already with a spot light and a plane in front of it. You can also fake it with a cylinder and a point light inside

I'm well aware of that. I am not just looking for the effect, I want it to be a workflow improvement. I for one don't see having to build a plane, texture it and align it with a light as anything but a workaround for a missing feature, and that missing feature is what I'd like to see added. Having it as a direct feature of the spotlight would really streamline the process.
