Is there a way to rotate a Lamp by moving it’s target? I am using a Area Lamp in Cycles and the only way I know to rotate it is with the R key, and the rotation is around the screen normal.
Is there any other way to rotate objects and things in Blender? I remember long time ago I was able to use a rotation manipulator with Ctrl+Alt+R.
Add an empty, select the lamp, holding shift select the empty and track the lamp to the empty (Ctrl+T). the lamp will always point to the empty, so position the empty wherever you want the lamp to point
Awesome! Thank you Richard.
Your image also showed me that I can change the manipulator to Transalte, Rotate and Scale using the three buttons next to Use 3D Manipulator.
