@eobet (eobet) posted a new topic, subject "3D Studio Max (yuck) now has HDRI shadows & IES in viewport". It read:

   HDRI shadows is new for 2020.2 (as is PBR materials actually, so Autodesk is catching up) but IES lights have actually been available for years (so it's not part of the video):
    
    Anyway, just wanted to mention two major features that Eevee currently lacks…

So @Serge_L (Serge L) replied

    Please, don't show this to devs, until viewport perfomance is fixed

To which @Musashidan (Danny McGrath) replied

    Don't get too excited. The 2020.2 VP is still very much a work in progress and we(on Max beta forums) were very surprised it shipped. An air of desperation about it.

To which @eobet (eobet) replied

    Oh, interesting! I'll tell our guy not to upgrade our machines yet, then.

So @Piotr_Adamowicz (Piotr Adamowicz) replied

    Too late, they're already working on it.
