Making area lights not seen by camera?

Wed Jan 02, 2013 3:01 am

Hi guys-
I understand there's no way to hide geometry from the camera in Octane, but what about lights? I saw one post about turning the opacity down, but that just turns down the intensity as well. Can I make a light not seen by camera?

Thanks.

I have dialed the opacity to zero and cranked up the intensity and it works OK.
May not be the most efficient way to do it... but its a work around I guess

Same here. Adjust the opacity.

Thanks! You are correct. Seems to work fine. Wish Octane had full composite controls like C4D. Maybe in 2, right?

Thanks again-
