Hi
Houdini novice creating a test render scene and going through Rohan Dalvi's tutorials. Many questions but my first is lights in Octane.

What is the default distant or spotlight you see when doing a render (without any actual lights setup)? How to edit or remove?
Does Octane require you to create all your lights using the Emission material?

In generals, integrated plugins can have some advantages, but share the same features of Standalone version.
