hi
i am new to Octane, and is trying to light a scene with it.

I understand that you can not move 3d object in octane yet, but what about the light 'material' node in 3D ? (although there is a 'transform' node but i cant seems to connect it to a light node)

i went through most of the tutorial and docs, and have not find a way ?

many thanks!

You can't move lights in Octane, since they are geometry too and geometry is currently fixed. The only thing you can "move" is the sunlight.

Radiance, go and have your honeymoon! :evil:
Otherwise there is going to be a moving heavy object landing on your earhole.
It won't be from me it will be from your wife. :!:
