Hello,

I´m starting to use Octane as my render engine. I use HDR Light Studio as my HDR light generator, but the problem is that Octan doesn´t update the image automatically. So I always have to rename the HDR image and do a new import. It would be great, if Octane can update the image automaticly to place your light in HDR Light Stutio hit render and see it directly in Octane!
Is there a way to do it?

Thanks Peter

Hi,

There has been one other person i remember who has asked for this,
it's on our list, but not for the immediate releases.

Even better would be if Octane would allow the user to interactively create and modify an HDR image! I believe that this would bring Octane to a whole new level...

That would be a breakthrough taking Octane to a whole new level.
