Hi,
I was playing with the "new" Octane built-in Spotlight (2019.1.5) but I am wondering if I am using it well.

When you look at concert spotlights for example, you can see the light rays through the dust but you can also see the light itself on the stage (with a roundish shape).
With Octane spotlight, if I set the spotlight with enough density to see the light rays, I have the shadow of the light on floor, instead of the light itself.
If I reduce the density of the volume, my spotlight doesn't have enough strength to light the floor. And if I increase light power, i have the rays showing but touching the floor (which is not realistic, rays should fade).

Anybody to enlight me on this subject ?

Thanks :)
