IES lights in blender

[vimaxus]

Can someone please enlighten me as to how can I use IES lights in blender octane edition?

The manual is a little skim:

Distribution – The distribution controls the pattern of the light. This can be set to an floattexture and an image or IES file can be loaded.

No octane texture allows an IES to be loaded apparently.

Thanks

in the standalone you need to load up a float image, I think it is called a greyscale image now

Node Setup for ies:

To load the ies file make sure you disable file filtering option:

Hi, you can add "Spherical Projection" and "Rotation" to get full control over your IES light.

Thanks guys!
It was mainly the filtering thingie that was preventing me to use it.
Maybe it should be added to the manual...

Hi, thank you for this setup. I have only used IES in standalone so far, but these infos will be very useful when I'll use the plugin !
