I recently started using the Standalone version and, as an Octane user, I can say that Octane is one of the most powerful render engines available today. The rendering performance is incredible.
You have built an incredibly powerful GPU renderer, but the workflow constantly puts unnecessary barriers ...

Hi there again, sorry for posting so much, but I keep finding more things that I feel aren't working.

I've been spending more time exploring Octane for Solaris, and the more I use it, the more I find features that are missing or don't integrate well with the Solaris workflow.

Hi there,

I'm working on a scene where you can see the "Visibility" issues because the original scene couldn't be shared with you. I wiil send you very soon.

Meanwhile, I'm experiencing a new bug/crash with Octane and particles. The crash occurs every time I start the IPR in Solaris, before the ...

I honestly do not understand the current state of the Octane integration with Solaris. Too many exposed features simply do not work or behave inconsistently.

For example:

Particle size settings inside Render Geometry Settings do not work.
Hair width, curve type, and other curve-related options ...

Hi, is there currently any way to read primvars:displayColor per instance from a USD PointInstancer in Octane Solaris?

The attribute exists correctly on the PointInstancer, but Octane renders all instances with the same color.

Hi there,

The native Solaris Light Linker LOP appears to be ignored by Octane.

I can create light-linking rules, add USD geometry to the Include or Exclude lists, and verify that the relationships are authored correctly on the USD stage. However, when rendering with Octane, the light continues to ...
