How could I "set a spotlight" in octanerender for sketchup?

[Cosoli]

I'm recently interested in this product "octane render for sketchup".

I have a few question about "settng lights" before I buy it.

When I used vray's plugin,I can use the toolbar to set spotlight, domelight, IES, light, etc.

About this product "octane render for sketchup", I have known that it can alter material to IES light or blackbody by setting the option of emission.

(but this can be a little cumbersome to set up = =)

So I want to know if it is possible to add the toolbar of lights in next version.


Thanks a lot.

Hi Cosoli,

I have a point on my roadmap telling to "figure out something with lights"
Octane doesn't support singular lights (spotlight, pointlights, etc) so you have to create emissive materials and apply them to geometry.
This might be a little cumbersome but most 3D-architects don't have any problems with that.

I'm not sure when I'm going to get to the point of implementing this feature as it's a low priority one.

Cheers,
Bro
