After last weeks great response to the Material Gotcha´s video this is the continuation with Light Gotcha´s, Scene Gotcha´s and Live Viewer Gotcha´s. If the response is equally great as last week, next week we will have a Rendering Gotcha´s video with again 15 Gotcha´s when Rendering in Octane.

5:08 For the peeps that want to avoid having to work in ACES, if you adjust the "saturate to white" in the Camera Imager, it will give you the same effect.

@@prymexxxx Because many vendors don't have it installed. Many mograph freelancers aren't actually that familiar with it. Because getting IT to install OpenColor IO on your machine will be a pain in the ass because they have to reimage all the machines in your dept. And finally most people aren't even good enough to even take advantage of a broader color space. I would take a freelancer who has an eye for design and motion, over one of those guys who think they know all the technical stuff. Eight times out of ten those guys are shitty designers. Would I like to work in it more often? Sure. Do I get tired of watching people's eyes glaze over when I try to explain broader color spaces or even linear 32bit color spaces? Yes.

Often times working in technical 3D software you tend to not use the things you don't understand or will give you horrible results, so these Gotcha's reallly help out since it finally 'unlocks' certain tools that were previously shoved under the: "ignore this because this doesn't work" section.

Hey Perry and thank you for your continuous support. Yes indeed. Productions are often messy but Octane likes it clean. I take quite a bit of time every project cleaning up the files so Octane does the final render without hickups 😇
This is the BEST series on those pesky little details in Octane! Thank you for gathering them all together in one series.

Any tips on achieving the light "spread" effect with a very low spread / cone angle? The distribution method is very noisy when the light is very small and focused.

This is a current limitation from the sampler unfortunately. In Octane 2023 there will be Analytic Lights which have the possibility to do this. I have encountered some bugs in the current alpha. So fingers crossed the team can squash them till final release.
after octane, can you make Redshift gotchas too?
