Dude, this is perfect for the project I'm working on. You just saved me hours of work. Thanks so much!
And if anyone's curious, this works in CS4 too. Also, moving the center point of the spotlight farther away from center seems to make a finer texture on the finished project. I'm going to have fun playing with this!

I've done it a simmilar way in the past. Only instead of using red for the texture channel I copy the everything to a new alpha channel and use that. I would also add noise if needed.

neat work
i may turn it into a vid
and add a little input
and give you credit
one small shortcut... once you have your selection
you can click ctrl+J to make a new layer
and copy of your selected area
another note is that you can really bump the
effect up with sharpening plus u can add
something interesting to it with a displace filter
on the blue channel after you've done the lighting
effect.
cheers

Thanks- and thanks for the shortcut reminders. I'm a shortcut nut (?) and was surprised I either didn't know those or forgot them.
Cheers!
