Hey guys! :D

I'm new with octane standalone and i've been practising a bit. I have used ies lights to render a car (MG),
but using one for the car headlights, only lights the ground like the mesh was facing down.
Then I just rendered the headlights as a normal emissive mesh.

Does someone know a solution for this? :)

The IES lights are a bit cumbersome at the moment, you have to change the projection of the IES texture from UV mapping to spherical projection. This new projection has a transformation you can use to rotate the IES light.
