Hey there,

as the title says, IES light seem to be broken on the latest OS and latest Octane build on Mac. I use R25-s asset db with ies lights, drop them into texture distribution, but as soon as I do, I get 0 light emission anymore from the area / IES light.

Any workaround yet? This seems to work fine on the Windows build, when we took the same steps.

Thanks

Hi,
weird, just tried with c4d assets and it doesn't see to work, but it works as expected with other IES files :roll:

Please try with the IES files shared here:

Thanks beppe, unfortunately this seems super buggy. As soon as I have two lights with a distribution texture, the other one stops working. So you can effectively only have one IES light or one gobo light. Is there a workaround?

Weird, I can load multiple IES files without issues here :roll:

Are you sure that the plugin is correctly installed?

Please write to help at otoy dot com asking for Beppe.

ciao,
