I hoped the slow down is critical for quick rendered scenes only, but I tested an interior and the render time jumps from 4min37s to 9min33s for the same sample count (1000). So, I'm very curious for an improvement of the denoiser.

I ask at the Rhino forum

Hi,

if my scene contains simple Rhino materials and I try to switch the material type to Octane, than there are no controls. Only if the material is assigned to an object than the options can be controlled at the object properties. Looks like a bug.

In the past I used Octane for some product animations only (since in direct light mode it render glass and metals faster than my main render engine). At the moment I explore Octane 4 and I'm impressed by the speed for interiors. The denoiser is a big step forward. Now I would like to add some spot ...

I sent you an email just now.

Great info, thank you Lewis.

Hi,

could it be possible to get a blend (multiply) option for the AO pass, so that this pass is blend to all beauty passes? So, I could use the AO as a detail enhancement without to do it for each rendering at Photoshop.

Also I ask me, couldn't the background of the AO pass not be white? Here an ...
