I am a MAYA user for last 12 years and I am making my transition to Blender these days and I found Blender is far more superior than MAYA only with some exceptions. Light linking is an one thing I find it easily done in MAYA (I still don't know if there is any easy way Blender does it better)

So what I want to do is, as an example, I have this room in Blender and I want a light illuminate only the walls in the room not any other objects in the scene???

Here is my scene.

Here is a WIP render of it.

As you can see walls are not lighten. I want walls to be seen slightly without adding any more light spill on other objects in the center.

Thanks...

Please immediately tag your question with either Cycles Render or Blender Render. – atomicbezierslinger Jul 21 '18 at 03:58
I think it will be a feature only in the next Blender (2.8) as explained by the Blender team – moonboots Jul 21 '18 at 09:57
I remember I saw it somewhere in a tutorial video, that we can make light groups or object groups to do something closer to assigning lights separately but I cannot remember exactly what was the tutorial. – Rumesh Hettiarachchi Jul 22 '18 at 05:34
