Split Focus Diopter Rotation not working - 18.0.597

Hi Jaunjo, it's been a while since I've used the Split Focus Diopter feature on the universal thin lens camera. I noticed that rotations do not appear to have any effect on the image or the diopter guide. I remember it was working in much older builds. Here are my specs and an image to confirm what I am seeing.

A. Windows 10 Pro Version 20H2
B. NVidia Geforce RTX 3090 Founder's Edition
C. 32GB DDR4
D. Nvidia driver version 462.31
E. OctaneRender Standalone version 2020.2.3
F. OctaneRender plugin version 2020.2.3.1 (May 9 2021)
G. Host application: Houdini 18.0.597

Hmm, there is a problem with this parameter. It seems a float number between -1.0 and 1.0 or something like that, but the slider is exposed as degrees. If you type a floating value, for example 0.2, it should work fine.

Thanks,
-Juanjo

thank you for clarifying the value range for that parameter. I always assumed it was intended to be expressed as degrees of rotations. Using the range of -1 to 1 works! I'm going to make a note of this for future reference. It would also be helpful to mark this in the tooltip for the parameter.
