lightsources

[rpict]

will you ever support IES lights?
would be great for the arch-viz market, which has a wide and strong user basis.

yes, after area lights are added.

Ok. Stop teasing and get back to work dude!

What form do you integrate aera lights ? moveable null object in the 3D view?

it's just an emission texture on any material.

As a lisenced customer,those days I have the oportunity to play with octane and I very very satisfied with it...when octane have the emmiters I think I will be completely enamored .

[nipparnlert]

I need emission too. It's enough for now. In future if support IES it will be happy and happy.

emitting light material can define by texture map ?
same like reflection ?

maybe this is a way to fake SSS !?
Maybe SSS can bake in 3D app and render in octane !?!

yeah emission can be textured in 2.3

I would like to know what mesh emitters mean for Octane... I use Maxwell and I am a bit jealous of simple lights for mental ray or vray in Max... If I have a modeled light fixture I always have to replace the lightsource with a small plane or triangle to keep the mesh of the emitter as simple as possible. That happens because if I use complex geometry for emitters, the noise lasts forever... Will this be a problem with Octane too? How will the mesh itself make a difference? Will this be like Maxwell?
There are some great collections of detailed light fixtures but it is almost impossible to use them with Maxwell unless I replace all the light sources...
