Hello there,

Using Octane for Houdini a bit more intensively, I found that their light management system was much more ergonomic: rather than having maps (spotlight, gradient) created in the material editor, the plugin offers a 'modify' tab for each light with several sliders (image, spotlight, stripes, gradient, etc.) ranging from 0 to 1, which allows for total control over lighting from a single location.

Would it be possible to have a 'modify' button in the modifier tab of an Octane light that would offer a floating window with all these options?

Hi remKa,
I’m not sure I fully understand the issue.. aren’t you using the 3ds max floating “Scene Explorer – Layer Explorer” panel?

Hello Paride,

there are no issue here, this is a screenshot from Houdini, the light management is way more intuitive, it would be great to have this kind of options inside 3ds max
