Regarding the metal shader, the K value maxes out at 8 while some metals have a K value of 12, 16, etc...does this matter?

So, a couple billion years to see a stable release we subscription users can actually use? 3.09 seems a mirage.

Then don't use subscription. These are beta releases, so you're complaining about something that, normally, most software owners have no part in anyways. They wait much longer for ...

I did not know that, no.

Looks like there's a bug with mixtextures. Try putting a mixtexture into the diffuse, put it on an object, and send over with an octane sky (no need for hdr). It does some weird stuff especially when you toss in a dirt shader as the mix amount. Renders half and/or quarters of the image wrong.

This site is what I use for it.

Did you check "Alpha Channel" in the C4D render settings?

My thing is that you should have to do a pass to get AO.

And from my knowledge its only a pass, but its not something that u can get in the render as is, no passes,etc.

But to my knowledge, AO is an approximation to simulate GI. If you have GI, you don't really need AO because GI is being more ...

The last thing to mention is AO. Idk if its something worth mentioning, but this is a biggy as well. Idk why we dont just have a Switch in settings to turn on Ambient Onclussion. Every material I have that I want AO, I have to mix the original texture with a dirt shader to get Faked AO. Why isnt ...

Was it working on R1?

Skipped R1, went from 3.06.x stable to this one.
