Request : Negative Light support Tweet

[SSmolak]

Please add support for negative light values or inverse color. It would be great for creating shadow gobos while using OctaneSky Light or SunLight. At the moment Light that use Image Projection for Gobo add it strenght to overall scene lighting that is not good for exteriors.

Negative light with inverted projection Gobo image would create only shadow without additional light.

It can be done using AOV with Light Mixer mask but it is way to slow to navigate using LiveViewer.

Hi,
Light Filters (which would allow for Gobos, Cookies, etc) is on the roadmap.

That's fantastic ! I didn't know that you joined to Octane developers team.

Background plates only for reflections would be great too. Simple moveable polygons visible only to relections but not for internal LiveViewer camera ( like HDR Sky maps ) - please

I did not! I just know it's on the roadmap (in some of the slides from some of the GTC videos). I am personally waiting on this feature to see what it comes with/allows for. As a reference, it should be similar to Arnold or Renderman Light Filters, I would assume.
