Lightning system suggestion

[remKa]

Hello there,

Using Octane for Houdini a bit more intensively, I found that their light management system was much more ergonomic: rather than having maps (spotlight, gradient) created in the material editor, the plugin offers a 'modify' tab for each light with several sliders (image, spotlight, stripes, gradient, etc.) ranging from 0 to 1, which allows for total control over lighting from a single location.

Would it be possible to have a 'modify' button in the modifier tab of an Octane light that would offer a floating window with all these options?

Hi remKa,
I’m not sure I fully understand the issue.. aren’t you using the 3ds max floating “Scene Explorer – Layer Explorer” panel?

Hello Paride,

there are no issue here, this is a screenshot from Houdini, the light management is way more intuitive, it would be great to have this kind of options inside 3ds max

Hi remka,
Thank you for the suggestion.
I'll check with the Houdini developer for more detail.
And will try to implement such features once the current issues are solved.
Thanks
