Alright, thanks Juanjo!

Hi,

I noticed some nasty flickering when the sun size is set to less than 1. It goes worse at it approaches 0. I attached an Houdini scene even though I guess that it might be more related to Octane itself.

It seems that it happens on a ...

Hello again,

For anyone interested in some sort of solution, here is mine :

- At object level, create an environment light node. I had never used it so I don't know why I can't move the gizmo. Using qLib's instead did the work. (https://github.com/qLab/qLib)
