Z-depth doesn't always work

Sometimes z-depth renders out as solid white and sometimes it renders out fine. I can't figure out what I'm doing in one file that's making it work/not work.

The really odd thing is that the z-depth shows up looking totally fine in the octane render view.

Here's a file where it renders out the z ...

Proximal shader not working correctly

I was following these tutorials and I learned that the proximal shader doesn't really work in Octane: https://vimeo.com/39632974 and https://vimeo.com/34832479

There's a lot of cool effects that this would enable, so hopefully some day it'll be supported!

Re: no files writen during render

I haven't tested it recently, but last time I checked you couldn't render a sequence with directory names "ie: directory/directory/filename.exr" unless the directories were already created. Other render engines will just create the directory if needed, but Octane just chugs along through the render ...

Re: Slider bars in the transform nodes

As an interim fix - just hold CTRL and click drag on the number values to get a "slider".

Colored lights

I'd love to be able to set the lights to specific colors as opposed to just color temperature. For instance, if I want to light a scene with blue light right now, the color temperature doesn't really go beyond blue-ish to a really saturated blue color.

Batch render "Octane render layers"

I would love it it the render layers that Octane can make could all be exported in one render as channels of an EXR file.

Thanks.

Re: Portal material doesn't show up in ID pass

Octane is now an R&D render engine for our studio even though it used to be a production render engine, and one of the big reasons is how different the support is from other renderer engines. For instance, we've never had a post on the Redshift forum that didn't get answered.

Re: Is object ID Broken?

You're not the only one, Object ID doesn't produce different colors for different objects. It's one of a few of the render passes that don't work.

Re: OctaneRender® for Maya® 2.24.2 - 7.21 Win [TEST]

Speaking of things broken for a long time - what's the deal with Octane "Render layers"? You know, the thing at the way bottom of the OctaneRender Settings tab.

It would really be ideal to render all these render layers at once and have them split out into passes in an EXR file? Why would I want to ...

Re: OctaneRender® for Maya® 2.24.2 - 7.21 Win [TEST]

A few things:

1) Since this update I can't seem to apply textures to materials without getting an error "// Error: Line 1.18: Syntax error"

2) EXRs don't output any of the channels unless I manually write in the name for each channel I want to include, even though the popup help text says "Leave ...
