Good grief... You both were correct! The weird thing is I don't ever remember enabling that. Is it on by default?

Thank you a ton! I've been having fun playing around with it in blender!

Hey everyone! First time posting in the Blender octane group. Came over from C4D where I used octane for 7 years. :D

I have a question.
When I'm in a scene and moving around in the perspective camera, the sample count obeys the amount I put in the max preview samples.
However, when I switch to ...

Hey Beppe!

I did know about the new bump setup. Took me a bit to get the hang of it, but finally did haha.
In this example, there is no bump, just roughness.

All in all, it's not a big deal. I just liked the look of the older version a little more.

Appreciate the info!

BRDF models are indeed matching.

Also, tried several file types of the roughness map, including EXR.
All color spaces, from what I've read, are managed properly.

Any additional info you come across I'd love to try!

Unfortunately, I've tried all of those things. I'm not so much talking about the actual color of the image, but how the roughness map is interpreted. I just spent the past few hours going through almost everything in the node editor as well to see if I could find something there. I didn't. However ...

I've noticed that I cannot for the life of me, get the look of roughness maps as I used to. One image (the left) is from 2017 the other is from yesterday. I've used both C4D R21 with octane 2020.1.5 R4 and C4D 2024.3.1 with octane 2023.1.2 R4. I've slid all the sliders checked all the boxes ...

The issue has been fixed!
Thanks again, aoktar!!

Thank you, my friend! Always appreciate your help and willingness to work on these issues so quickly!

Cinema4D 2024.2.0 with Octane 2023.1.2-R2

Scaling a plane with Octane scattered objects on it immediately crashes Cineam4. It did this in the previous version of octane as well.
Should be easily repeatable for anyone.

Thanks!

I have the latest version of C4D 2024, octane, and Nvidia drivers.

When I use a scatter object, add a random effector, and then scale the plane that the objects are scattered onto, it crashes C4D every time.

I did the exact same setup in C4D R21 and it works just fine.

Just wanted to give a ...
