Additional Light Options

I think it would be super useful to have a checkbox/slider within the 'Enscape Objects' window that would allow you to change the way that specific light objects interact with diffuse/specular/reflections separately.

It's a bit annoying to see reflections of fill lights or spheres just floating in mid air..

Also can someone please explain why some light reflections seem to bypass geometry? But then that same light won't exist if the camera doesn't have a direct line of sight to it.

I've attached a few diagrams to help illustrate the issue.

The ies lights are not the issue. The spheres inside are set to 4,200 cd at 0.00m radius and the reflections are being picked up through solid walls.

Rectangle lights seem to rectify the reflection artifacts, however they come with their own set of issues. Namely any length over 1.58m is ignored.. So in an effort to reduce the number of light sources I originally opted for 2 lines vs. 6 rectangles per fixture. Should I just be using rectangle/area lights for all sources (other than ies cones)? What is the point of spheres and lines??

100% agree that the Enscape lighting placement method is awful, it should be changed to a single click placement or atleast guided vs. free axis..

I've noticed that when I start getting weird artifacts from lights sources if I just restart Enscape it tends to fix it. But this is not an acceptable workflow and needs to be addressed by the dev team.
