Blender 2.8 all access license

So is the paid version of blender 2.8 all access out now? Or is it just the prime 1 GPU version?

Thanks.

Re: vdb sdf polygon smoothing

Ok so I might end up using this this method after all. Tweaked some settings for the vdb and got the file sizes down. Main thing is the smoothing in octane not working. It’s not a vdb file in lightwave, it’s being imported directly into octane,. Is this suppose to support smoothing?

Re: vdb sdf polygon smoothing

thanks, but no real reason to now, this method doesnt look like its going to work. Im trying to get a realflow simulation of a creek into a pretty heavy scene..... Octane can load vdb's, but if i go that route, the vdb file size for the detail to be retained in the creek is insane. using a mesh ...

Re: vdb sdf polygon smoothing

ray epsilon is not gona work . Am I missing something? the smooth option in the material seems to have no affect.

object sequence

Is there a way to update "force reload" 1 object in a scene for a mesh sequence, instead of having to do a full scene reload every frame?

Emission with material Mixer confirmed Bug

Replicate able bug. Octane 4 and 2018 beta.

When an emission node is going through a material mixer, the surface emission brightness is lost. See attached for example scene. This has been replicated by different users.

THanks!

large scene bump bug

If you make a 30mi wide plain, then put a bump map on it... at extreme distances you get weird grid like artifacting. This is also not fixed with adjusting ray epsilon.
