There were some changes to parsing IES lights recently. Could you first try to update to the newest version of Corona for C4D, please?

Is the checkbox next to the filename checked, to activate the use of IES? I sometimes forget about that one :) Image attached!

I think the most recent C4D version is this one from the downloads page:

https://corona-renderer.com/download

That was linked to from the Feb 5th Blog post.

ok,
as rc means release candidate, and rc4 is from 18-01-29
that means since the release of B1 at 18-02-05 here: https://corona-renderer.com/download

there are no new daily/weekly dev releases, right?

does anybody know if there will be a new google drive folder like in the alpha stages?

is the last beta... Feb 5 dated.

I hope there is NO new beta of B1.... B2 will be here... soon, (finger crossed) if I am not wrong.

When I read the notes, I assumed the Beta on the downloads page was identical to the last RC from the forum.

ahm?
there were about 20? weekly releases from alpha to b1,
so i expect at least the same amount from b1 to b2,
but the question is if they will be public.
