Hi there,

I started mocking up a test for a project I'm looking to start that includes an elevator with a glass/reflective wall. The material is nothing special, just a 100% smooth/metallic unity PBR mat. I seem to be getting hot spots from my lights. Is there any good way do dial these out?

Also ...

Not uber urgent.
Will have a tinker with aligning the mesh renders. Last time I did that it broke the rig, so might have to take more care

Thanks for the ping back.

Thought I'd give the new Book of the Dead asset drop a go with Octane.

Might need to change some settings.......

Hi there,

I recently had to downgrade from Unity Pro to Personal. Since then Octane says I no longer have a license I can use.

I've tried completely (including the "Octane" menu) uninstalling and re-installing. I can use Octant on the same cycle I installed it on, but as soon as I have to stop ...

Converting the Skybox to a pano, certainly fixed the problem. I found one tool that could do it, but not without issues.

Front to back orientation is still wrong in this grab, so it would take rotating the up/down images 180 and then sliding the side ...
