Can't render spot light with texture

Question

I am trying to render a scene with a spot light and a texture attached to it. Rendering works fine with the Blender renderer. With either cycles or Mitsuba renderers the texture is not rendered. Any ideas?

Thanks

Answer 1

You probably need to set up a new cycles material for the spotlight. Blender Internal and Cycles use different shaders/materials for objects and lamps.

Answer 2

This is possible with this kind of nodes configuration for the spot lamp :

The important point for the projection is too choose "normal" in the texture coordinate node.
