Can I have a light affect only one material?
Some 3D rendering apps have checkboxes to allow you to say whether a particular light source affects a particular surface.
Is there any way I can do this with a material in Unity? I would like to have a spot light that only affects say the character's clothing and not his face or hair or anything else.
Is this easily possible?
Layers don't work for this do they? As I want one material of several on a single gameobject (character) to be affected by the light and the rest to ignore it.
Look for "CullingMask" field in your light component.
There you can choose which layers are effected by the light.
To set the layer check out this:

Thanks, appreciate the reply and I just read it, but is this on a per GameObject basis only? If I have a character which is a parented hierarchy of bones and an FBX skinned mesh render which the 1 mesh contains all of the different materials: hair, skin, dress etc. Can I assign JUST the dress material to the Layer? or does that apply to the WHOLE gameobject - and thus all the materials on my character?
