Hi all.
I am trying to achieve the volumetric light effect in Houdini with an octane light but i can find out the right workflow to do it properly.
I see there is a Spectron light tool that should do this effect, but when i use it the volumes dosn't appear.

Someone know the solution?
thank you.

Hi,

There are various ways to do it.
This page is demonstrating the different ways to do it. It gives an overview of "volumes & volumetrics" in Octane (including a description of the "Spectron light"), regardless of the plugin.

It should be easy to translate it to Houdini as it is universal with only a few 3D DCC specifics.
