hi all

i want to make a colored light but can only change the temperature,
& see no rgb slider.

nothing in the manual, so how do you make some without using an emiting object with texture,
just using the standart octane lights?

Hi xox,

I think the octane lights are only blackbody emitters so you can only control temperature. If you need a textured emission to get other colours/textures you may need to create some emissive geometry by applying a diffuse shader with an texture emission connected.
