Light Instancing For Houdini

Hi All,

Can Octane instance lights using the Houdini plugin?

For instance (ha-ha) can I make a light for every particle, possible thousands?

Hi Atomic,
not an Houdini user, sorry, but there should be any issue with instancing and emission, I guess.
Here is the link at the online documentation about Houdini Instancing for more details about this argument.

Hi,

Yes, you can instance any object with a light emission material, or with the light emission enabled using the Octane OBJ spare parameters.

Thanks,
