Light Include/Exclude not Honored

Hello Aoktar,

It seems that Octane lights do not honor the Include/exclude list. I want to limit the effects of a light to a specific object, and I have added that object to the Include list in the Light>Project tab, but the light still illuminates the entire area as normal. This is when using a area target light in plug in version 2.24.

Are there any known workarounds for this?

Thank you.

It's not a bug, unsupported feature.

Are there plans to support this feature?

I don't know. It can't be done by just plugins, requires a core support to do.

Got it, thanks. I hope that the core people realize why this is necessary....
