Blocker filter for lighting

Hello,

(Why there isn't any Lighting tag?...)

I'm working sugin Blender for many animation productions and a videogame now. I work using maya + arnold and I miss some incredible tools for lighting production:

  • Light Linking
  • Renderlayer (solved using the future Collections)
  • LPE (custom AOVs)
  • Blocker filter for lights

This last one could be created using a new Node and Input on lighting node inside Blender. Are there any plans for this or them? If not, are there any developer interested in?

I'd love to see LPE added to blender. The blocker, I'm having a hard time seeing what I would use it for, but back in the days of raycast rendering, I used a similar technique to make the lighting look more natural. This almost does the opposite. I'd be interested to see how I can make this work for me.
