Hello Octane guy (again)

I have a very simple question... How can I make an octane IES light or a diffuse mat with a blackbody emission working properly in my 3DSMAX that run along with the Octane 1.0 beta 2.58e standalone edition ?

I try load the same IES file in the demo for both the Octane IES light and the one with diffuse material result is no light...

When I do the same thing in the standalone application ... It' s perfect !

Let's have a look on my settings below I really need this feature to be working on my MAX 2013 also... this is the real deal for my job..

Can you guide me some step ?

Thanks for your reading

What is height of your ceiling?

It's around 270cm in my display (I set to cm)
and 2.7m in my system unit (I set to meter)

I have read about some people using wrong scale in their model resulting the light wont render correctly,, so I am sure about my model scale is normal...

what do you think ?

The same problem - IES don't work on max 13. On 2012 everything is ok.

UPDATE:

IES works on 3DSMAX 2012 plugin (kepler build)
So the plugin is not fully compatible with MAX2013... at least for me now
