Hi,
Can somebody tell me how to exclude a light for an object. Legacy way in LW does not seem to work for Octane renders.
I would also like to assign a light to one object only. Any clue ?
Thanks in advance, Best.

You need to use the light pass feature. You can create up to 8 groups of lights using the "Light Pass ID". Later using the octane object properties options, you can control which light groups affect the object.

For example, in the attached image you can see a light source configured for the pass ID number 2, and the object is configured to receive only the lighting from this light source.

Thanks,
