Hey.
I've seen that it's very quick and easy to create lights in Cinema4D. With one click they are already set up. Especially the targetted light option is nice. In Blender I always have to create everything manually. Maybe you can add a section to the "Add" popup or have a section in the toolbar where Octane specific features are included (this is how Renderman handled it).
This is the popup of Cinema4D that I'm refering to (btw. it should be "Targeted" with just one "t").
Cheers,
Andreas
