Hi, I need help figuring out how to make light objects with octane light tag get color data from the cloner they are in.

For example if you have an area light with an octane tag on it inside a cloner that has a field that applies color to the clones... There seems to be no way to get the color data to the cloned lights.

Is this even possible?

Cinema 4D does not allow lights to be cloned.

cinema4d Allow you to clone lights when you setup a simple clone, if you setup instance clone option the cloner work geometry only.
