Solaris' barndoor and shadow blocker implementation?

[fomfomsoft]

Hello,

Are light filters supported in Solaris? Barndoor, decay and shadow blocker etc.

For barndoors, I tried using sphere light (switched on as spotlight) and the shaping parameters, and while angle and softness works, barndoor ones don't.

Would appreciate some advice.

Thanks

Keen to hear about this too!

I don't see an option to even map a shader to lights—even if I were to create the light filters in the material library.

Ah is it this?
Was looking into the Physical Sky Shader somemore:

Adding support for light filters in Hydra via materials #575
https://github.com/Autodesk/arnold-usd/pull/575

Any news on further progress in this area?

Support is there, but I'm not sure you can do it interactively...am checking on that...

Thanks for the reply Stephen, looking forward to your answer, thanks.

Hi !

Does someone has a workaround to be able to see a light filter in Hydra?

HtoA 6.1.2

• Support arnold light filters : Similarly to shaders connections to lights, light filter shaders can be connected to the OUT_light terminals (HTOA-1884)

Hi guys,

In Solaris barndoor and gobo filter don't work for me in 6.2.1.0, only light decay and blocker work.
