I´m having some trouble with the area lights in the Octane Blender connection. It seems like they don´t have alpha enabled. Left light is an area light right is from the HDR map.

:party: :party: :party:
Thanks for the Octane Blender support!

+1 for a Blender Octane connection! :grin:

It´s already possible to use HDRLS with Octane in Blender, by starting the Connection with Eevee as a renderer and then switch to Octane after the connection is established- and then connecting the HDRLS World tex to an Octane environment. I used a spherical projection with xyz rotation so that the orientation matches. Only thing I could not get to work yet were Area Lights.

Would be very cool to have an official connection :cool:
