Spotlight alpha edges

Hi all,
I'm trying to use the octane spotlight with an alpha channel and open exr files. The edges of the volume are dark, as opposed to more transparent on the alpha channel. No effect when I change alpha to straight in C4D render settings.

Thoughts?

Re: HDRI Environment with Light Linking

Thanks Beppe! That's the move! Luckily I just need a flat white ambient light for my second object, so that's super simple. Thanks!

Re: HDRI Environment with Light Linking

Ah, but there’s no way to have two different environment lights affect two different objects separately, is there?

Re: HDRI Environment with Light Linking

Thanks Aoktar--but am I able to assign a light ID to the HDRI Environment Tag?

HDRI Environment with Light Linking

Hi All,
Got a specific need to have two different HDRI setups in a scene for two different objects. Is there a way to do light linking or exclusion with those?

Thanks!

Linear workflow with AE (no longer working?)

Hi all,
I've read just about everything I can get my hands on, but I'm really struggling with linear workflow.

When I import a linear EXR and view it within after effects, it should appear dark when "linearize working space" is disabled, and accurate when "linearize working space" is enabled ...

Re: Multi Shader Index Ratio Issue

Thanks, Ahmet. I know there isn't a node like that, but...could one be created? I find this approach to be really finicky, and it would be far preferable to have something simpler and more obvious. Is this in the works?

Having to mess with the instance range numbers every time I alter my cloner is ...

Re: Multi Shader Index Ratio Issue

Would you mind explaining how to do that? I really can't figure it out.

Seems like there should just be an octane multishader node that can be directly assigned to index values. That's how redshift does it, and it's SO simple.

Re: Multi Shader Index Ratio Issue

I just want to pop in here and say how frustrating this is. I don't even have that many textures and I just find Octane so confusing and undependable for this type of purpose. I have like 300 clones and 20 textures. I'd like them to apply them one to a clone, and when I reach the 20th clone, start ...
