Latest Octane 2020 build: I do not see IES visualization in Maya 2020 (Win 10/Nvidia 2080TI), and it does not appear any of the .ies files I've tried are working. Is there a clear tutorial for IES files?

Also, I do not understand the Spotlight implementation. The relationship between throw and other parameters does not seem to generate any predictable results. Again, any clear instructions for this feature?

Thank you.

Hi Mverta,

Thank you!! The IES visualization is now under `Simplified Emitter mat. setup` rollout when you select the Octane Lights! we do have a slightly older video tutorial on IES


Would it be possible if you can share some images of the error and expected result including a Maya sample file?

Cheers
