Hi again,

I've created 2 videos for you:

Rendering - shows the random flickering when rendering the scene twice. i.e F27 was black the first time, then normal the second time.

Scene Overview - I go through how the scene is set up ...

Ok I had some time while rendering.

As for materials, nothing special - the ocean surface uses a default specular material (with 0.00001 roughness) Ground is basic diffuse material with alpha.
Regardless of material, if it works on one frame, it theoretically should work on all frames, but for some ...

Thanks for the quick replies...

I am currently under a deadline so I figured out a workaround - render the floor without fish and render the fish separately (the fish (alembic) pass still flickers but its subtle enough not to get as noticed as a floor dimming). I will reach out again soon and post ...

Hi,

My renders are flickering (caustic luminance) inconsistently when I have alembic of fish in the scene. when I hide fish from render, the caustics renders correctly. I created alembics from rigged fish swimming in a loop (in c4d). I placed them in the scene as instances or inside cloners. motion ...

Hi,

I'm using octane plugin for C4D 2021.1.6-(R3). I watched tutorials how to render shadow passes for comping in AE / Resolve. That's all set up fine. what I notice though is the shadow catching plane is also visible in a reflective Sphere. Some say you don't need a shadowcatcher material, but ...

Sorry - I am a bit confused. What is the latest build of the plugin?
I am using 2.00.24 at the moment.

Regards - Ron

Hey Ron,

I believe I'm using the latest version (on the first page of this thread) 2.01 (it uses the latest sdk) for both mac and pc.

1. possibly, you need to update to latest standalone 2.01. Also macosx energy saving function makes the render daemon is sleeping.
So pls disable this from info window of octane_slave or octane_daemon application.

2. I don't aware this. You should not need for baking except objects which has ...

Hey Aoktar,

Thanks for all the work!

1. New version is working great both Mac and Pc! Trying at the moment to render to picture viewer with the PC slaved to Mac C4d r15 (Octane 2.0.1 for mac, geforce 680) but it hangs after a few samples. Usually for LV, I run the slave.exe (from PC) with the ...

it should work fast as intern gpus. But be aware of data sending times. It sends updates parts of scene to clients. And clients contribute to calculation. You can watch this process on net render info line in LV.

Btw, I can hopefully do a stabile macos version today and some demo versions also ...

Hey Aoktar,

I installed r15 and the plug in works without crashing at launch. There are still issues w this version but at least I got my pc to slave with it. The network rendering function is good. Still not as fast as if I rendered just from the PC (vs slaving off the Mac (additional gefore680 ...
