There seems to be a bug with displacement maps. I've attached screenshots. The one rendered in 2020.1.5 is correct. I also tested it in Standalone. Exported ORBX from both 2020.1.5 and 2020.2.0.1. ORBX from 2020.1.5 renders correctly while the one from 2020.2 is incorrect. I can send you the scene ...

Hi, I can't send the scene now, but I compared with Standalone yesterday and here's what I've found :

HOUDINI : DISPLACEMENT vertex or image is not working well in the 2020.2 plugin for me. If I change the midlevel nothing happens, the render doesn't even refresh. If I stop the render, change the ...

Well now the denoiser is only crashing when my displacement mid level is different than 0.5 . Something is wrong with the displacement in this version ?

I switched back to 456.38 driver and now it crashes all the time when the denoiser kicks in. So it must be denoiser. However it's strange that before installing 460.89 the denoiser worked, then it crashed in 460.89 and now i'm back with 456.38 and now it crashes on 456.38 !
What can I do ?

Hello, just tried 2020.2 and I got following problems :

Hello,

Free Tier 2020.1.3_21.9

1. DISPLACEMENT IS NOT RENDERED IN LAYERED MATERIALS. Layered Materials are rendered without displacement. Displacement works ok on other types of materials though. It used to work well in my previous Blender Octane (may 2020)

2. REFRESH ISSUE WITH ANY MATERIAL THAT ...

... same problem with out of focus parts of images so much noise in PT

thank you

Hi guys,

Why, even when I set Path term. power to .001 some dark areas or specular materials still stay noisy when the rest 90% of image is perfectly clean. What parameter should I change so the image is rendered evenly in all areas?

thank you

Hi,

in standalone version,
i find it so painful that each time I open a liveDB i have to wait sometimes minutes for materials to load even during the same session. Is there any way to cache the materials and do just automatic update every 24h?

I have found this list of octane redner farms but non of them has an interface for Octane Standalone, am I missing something?
