have a look back at the montree lighting tutors

basically use 2 or 3 lights to get the scallops you want and and make sure the lighting power divided by 2 or 3 would be equal what a single lamp would produce

aye, cheers dude, i seem to remember that tut now you mention it.

 

when i got a spare 10 mins or so i think it's worth me making a few IES lights up as standards i can drop into my future scenes.

You could also do it with a painted gobo map (projector light). That's how we did it way back when.

You will need 3d Viz 4 and above version, or 3d Max 6 and above version. Go to "Photometric" lights, change "Distribution" to "Web", then assign your .IES file to "Web File". Try it!
