I have another request. With lightpasses, you can set whether a light affects an object or not, it’s a boolean operation. In Redshift, however, this option is a float value, allowing you to control how much a light influences a specific object It would be great to have this feature available as well.

Is there a way to set the compressed textures to another folder? For example a server? Now all our render computers have to compress the texture separately. Some take over 35 minits to complete.

I tried rendering deep out of octane. I noticed 2 things.
1. The saved image is darker in nuke compared to the none deep render. Don't know why?
2. It looks like emission is missing in the deep render?

Lots of people do Depth of Field in post. In post you got more control. In Nuke for example with the plugin 'Bokeh' you can control how much out of focus there is in front of your focus point and behind. This is not accurate but give extreme creative control. You can blur your background more and ...

This is a problem I have addressed a couple of times. But hit is one that is in octane for a couple of years now. When render with an alpha and dof and using the desnoier it give very ugly artifacts around the edges.

I looks like if you use multiple light (analytics on a standard surface shader) it does not add the specular correctly. I got very strong reflective renders. If I render my light separately and them in nuke it give the result I would expect. I cannot share my scene because of NDA unfortunately.

That are some very nice features!

Maybe I mist it in a previous release but are meshlets still coming? or already there?

Arnold has the possibility to disable diffuse reflection of an object (specular reflection, diffuse transmission and specular transmission are also options that can be turned off). I would die to get such features in Octane. Is this something that could be added?

Looks like the ray switch 'diffuse' function does not work properly any more. If I try this old orbx file it does not look that same as milanm example.
