Hi,

I can't get IES lights to show in the latest demo. Followed the tutorial by inlifethrill and tried everything but it always looks like a standard aera light.

Anyone tried it in the latest demo?
If it works for you, can you save out a simple scene and upload it (to a filehost)?

Would appreciate it!

Thanks

Use LiveViewer->Object->Ies light command and put a ies in premade imagetexture. Or use Ies button in octane lighttag to create same preset

Hey

Yes, you are right. It doesn't work from the presets but it does work, if you load it from a drive.

Thank you very much!

It works on normal version. Also should work on demo but didn't on you. Maybe a bug on demo or a problem with names.
