[jeefo32]

if its has been taken out , is there any other feature similar to it ?

Using light channels is the other method of isolating lighting. There are quite a few channels and unless the amount of lights you want to uniquely affect models in any given area exceeds this, the channels will do the job just fine. It's generally meant for isolating dynamic lighting so you really have to do lots of dynamic lighting to exceed the channels available. Since static lighting is not expensive even with 20 lights in one area.

The idea of course is that if you want one light just to affect one object, then match their channels and take out the defaults like Static or Dynamic or whatever. So whatever channel the light has, it will affect any object of the same channel.
