Let me load my own face photos and turn on replacement: Octane detects heads and swaps in my photos, keeping angle, lighting and shadows.

I suspect that this issue might also be present in newer versions. There’s a strong possibility that the problem is ...

Great post, I totally think Octane is really missing features like in KeyShot: adding light sources and reflector blur as default primitives, a studio collection of lighting elements with the ability to change the temperature of a foil reflector.

There’s also a bug: when trying to select, for example, a Glossy material from the Octane shader list, the interface lags and jumps, causing frequent misclicks — it selects a completely different material. Yesterday I tried about five times to pick the Glossy material, but each time it switched to ...
