IES Lights and OGL Representation

[3dreamstudios]

Lightwave IES lights have a representation of the light pattern...any chance that's a few lines of code that could be added into Octane plugin? And while I'm asking, it has the ability to see a black and white image of the pattern, which in some cases is even more helpful. Just curious...thanks!

that is great news. I think it could really help, since everything has to be "real" and no fake in Octane. We have no visual representation of the lights emitter etc... now.

On this subject, do normal IES lights react well/correct/accurate with Octane...it seems several I've tried I have to "play" with the Gamma and HDRI power quite a bit to make anything reasonable. Just curious.

Yes that will be great but while waiting, check this

It does not intergrate to LW but works well as standalone
