Vectron Lights Spectron lights Tweet

Hi
Can't find any info on how to use these.
Nothing in the manual (shock) and nothing on youtube.
Nothing in tutorials forum.

Is there any advantage to using these and if so, where's the info.

Hi, there are some information here.

[Rik]

Thanks, very nice.
However, couldn't see anything about Vectron or Spectron?

It was 3 years since Jules did another promo "look what's coming, aren't our new lights amazing!"
As always with Octane, we get shown amazing clips of game changing features yet years later there is still no clear instruction or explanation on how to use all of them.

There is literally no point in inventing these technologies if it takes longer to fathom out how to use it than it actually saves.

Octane has always done flashy announcements of 'hey, look what we can do' and then leaving the people paying for the product to work for themselves how to use it.

Sorry for the ranting. Just keep on getting frustrated with Otoy's focus on invention rather than communication/instruction/tutorials.

CTRL + F then type "Spectron".
The website can not feature a table of contents as I'd like to, unfortunately.
The same for Vectron, but on this page.

You do not have to apologize.
There has been more and more informational content lately, including the following:
https://help.otoy.com/hc/en-us/categories/201718003-OctaneRender-Quick-Start-Guides
https://www.elsksa.me/octane, shameless-plug.
And, obviously, the official documentation: Standalone or plugin (e.g. Octane-C4D one), which may contain more information.

Feel free to ask any further questions on the forum or the Octane Discord, which are both active.
I believe I saw you on the Discord server?

Ha, don't think it was me on discord!
My son uses it but I'm probably too old for it
Will check it out though.

Thanks for all those links. Will check them out when I can manage to get out of doing housework and DIY...
