That depends what you mean by that.

You could make a yellow sphere with a smiley face for example. :P

These tools support sunlight settings in the worldspawn, if you use multiple suns and careful values it can look nice.

:) I was thinking about a yellow sphere, too ;)

OK, so I have to use the light tools, right? Are there any special parameters either in the light program or in the editor?

EDIT: Found something in the readme.txt. No, don't tell me! I will look into it by myself. I'll ask if I can't manage to do it.

Yes, Bengt "aguirRe" Jardrup's documentation is not only top-notch, it is also the best resource about these tools you can find. Quite nice and inspiring to read too. Enjoy! :)
