Hi,

I would want a lightpath node in Octane as well. Blender Cycles, MODO render and a few other render engines have it to give artist more control over a scene.

Same for light linking to be able to choose what a light affects certain objects only.

Thanks

+1 Both of these would be very very useful in many situations if they are possible to implement.

Would be great to get a response from devs whether this is even possible, or impossible in Octane...

I had some discussion with devs about this. As i can remember that the renderer is not structured for a light linking. So this requires lot of revisions on design of that. And i know they are working on some re-design for osl integration. We'll see what can be possible with OSL.
