Hello,

we have made a simple C4D Octane light setup for Area/Shape, Spot- and Sunlight, HdriSky and a Seamless Floor setup. Maybe you find it useful.

Great! this seems really useful, I'll check this up later in the day.

Hey, super cool !
I'll try it asap
Thanks guys

Thanks!
very handy

Simple but very useful
Many thx

Have to say, for someone like me that is new to all this 3D malarkey, this type of tool is brilliant. I can great results quickly and then also learn what is going on under the bonnet.


Thanks guys

Very nice thanks

Thanks for any feedback or suggestions for a new version.

cheers Daniel

Great Work Daniel!

This is my favorite Octane light rig so far. I really like the lighting tool and solo options.

There are two bugs I found so far (tested on win8.1/ R17.055 / Octane 3.06.2):

1) Switching between lighting mode and an activated target object breaks the rig.
But It seems this is not only an issue with your rig. Sstandard C4D Target-Lights have the same Issue.
Maybe you could disable one function if the other is enabled...

2) The solo function sometimes stops working. I am not shure what causes this exactly, but it has to do with adding/deleting several lights from a scene.

3) Not quite shure if this is a bug.
But when using a texture inside the spotlight (aka gobo) the coordinates of the projection seem a little bit of compared to the spec light generated by the light (bulb).

I would love to see you team up with https://www.pingo.nu/hdr-studio-lights/ and make an awsome bundle

Keep up the good work!

Thank you illidsch,

thank you for your feedback. I think i can fix something of this. I have also some points and maybe a good idea for a new version.

cheers Daniel
