Octane light update

[remKa]

Hello,

It would be nice to have a "roundness" effect for the octane lights : https://youtu.be/ZUEnTb6QnD4?t=260

At the moment, the Geo Type "Disk" is unusable in Octane because of its polygonal look

Thanks !

Hello Elsksa

A disk geo works indeed but having this small improvement straight from OctaneLights would speed up the lightning process (insted of creating shape + set up an emissive material).

Hi remKa,
The default segment count for Octane lights discs and spheres is 10, but can be changed in
Preferences / Material / 'Octane lights: Shape segments'. Try to set 100 to reduce the polygonal look.
This is used when Vectron mode is disabled. (Vectron mode makes a perfect shape, and reduce noise..)
Note that the Octane engine has only Vectron Spheres or quad, but no disc.
You could also try to use a Vectron sphere, with a scale like 100,100,0.001, but it will always be 'double sided' ..
Sorry that the segments settings is not obvious to find! I'll add it to the Octane light in a future release.
I'll try to add a 'roundness' effect too.

Thanks
