You didnt mention this in the release notes, but IES files now have an extra option if you click the spanner on the image node called "IES SCALING"
Hi, was this with a new scene? When loading a scene saved using 2020.2 it should be set to normalize the maximum to 1.0.
Roeland, Paul Kinnane sent me an alpha build of the modo plugin, and I was loading a previous scene. So the Octane API was seeing this as a "new" scene when it builds the nodegraph, setting IES scaling to "normalize using lamp luminance".
If I export an orbx from the 2020.2.3 plugin and load it into 2021.1 XB1 standalone, it looks correct, because Octane recognizes this as a file from an older version.
I guess Paul is going to have to set all images to "normalize peak to 1.0" to prevent older modo scenes from breaking.
