Sorry to resurrect an older thread
Can someone explain to me if what I am trying to do will work?
Read Aoktar's explanation here:
http://www.aoktar.com/octane/OCTANE%20H ... %20linkingAnd this makes sense. Except for one last part global and local overrides.
"You can also enable or disable lights globally and intervene locally. "
I take this to mean, I can exclude a light from the entire scene by disabling it in Kernel settings. In this case, disable 8.
But then locally, in the object tag, I can override that and enable 8 only, for that object.
By this logic, I only need the tag on my one object to enable light 8 (and only 8) on it, while 8 is excluded from all other objects - I don't need to put a tag on everything else.
However the kernel setting override the local. So there doesn't appear to be a simple way to exclude light 8 from scene but keep on one object. Looks like I need to manually exclude 8 from all objects except the one I actually want it on? Too many tags.
Is this expected behaviour?
Thanks
