Hey guys,

Here's the first true area lights rendered image with octane.
lots more to do (efficiency wise), but 2.3 will make people very happy i think

The materials have an extra channel 'emission', that you can texture like any other channel, including procedurals, maps etc...
There is also news on the MLT front, but i will leave that until we've made more advancements, but things are looking very good.

PS: approx 2 minutes on a GTX480

Now you're talking!

Fantastic news!

Great job guys! beta 2.3 is going to be awesome no doubt about it. Can't wait to try it:)

Cheers,

Awesome

Do you think it would be possible to hijack the ambient channel of OBJ materials for emission export?

rock on

hmmmm, not sure i don't think that will give expected results, and maybe confuse users.
imo these are 'lightsources' not ambient channels...

Rock it Rock it. More image please Radiance

I know, but OBJ/MTL doesn't support light sources, or did I miss something? But you are probably right, because most Octane exporters didn't cannot influence the OBJ export that much, that lights get exported as objects with ambient materials. I forgot that.

great news!
and nice render BTW, keep 'em coming
