2 Light questions

[Mirana]

Hi!

I have two questions and I hope I can them explain right.

1: Is it possible to rotate the Light (HDR image) to get other effects? I just can rotate the "Z node" under rotation but I want rotate the X so that the image in the back matches.

2: Is it possible to create Light effects like a glow? For example I want to do a scene with some magic effects and want color glow on the face. In poser I would create a point light but can I do something like that in Octane?

How you understand what I am meaning.

Greetings Angela

Set the Environment->Texture->Projection to "Spherical", and adjust the Rotation slider.

Yes, set the material to Diffuse, and assign an "emission". https://docs.otoy.com/#44Emitters
