Hello Carrara-niks,
I am using Octane 2.17, so Carrara lights are not available to me. What I need is to emulate the "light sphere effect " of Carrara Bulb lights.
Your help is appreciated,
Rick

Hi Guys,
I figured something out on this....probably obvious.
Made a vertex disc.
Gave it an emitter shader.
Put a radial blend, black to white center in the opacity channel....

a volumetric cloud or VDB around the light mesh could work too or maybe it could even be an emitter?
I have used inner lit clouds on my fires
