Hi,
this video shows octane spotlight (from min. 2:10)
Is it available in the next octane plugin for rhino?

bye

I think the link is missing? I am unsure yet if the new lights in Octane 2019.2 will be able to be implemented in the Rhino plugin. In theory they could be auto-generated from Rhino lights, although this would break old scenes which has had emitter geometry added to the scene to provide the light from Rhino lights. I will know more once the Octane SDK is available for Octane 2019.2.

Hi, Paul
sorry...the link is https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Uxc4zIjR2g

thanks

I hope that even rhino can have these lights. Rhino is mainly used by designers and this type of lights is essential to be able to create photorealistic interiors as they simulate the lamps used by the photographic studios that produce catalogs

Are there any new lighting features with the latest octane and Rhino 7.

I still find the emitters very hit and miss and have not been very successful with trying to load ies lights and getting them to shine the right way, have the correct size hotspots etc.

Cheers
