Wow! Amazing news.

Hello!

Does anyone know of farm for Cycles that's similar to RNDR in speed/usability/cost?

(I'm not defecting. Well, not completely.)

Thanks in advance.

Lino - can you explain how this works/what it's doing? I can't find anything in documentation.

It seems that when it is checked, it changes how the Focal Length and Sensor Fit work.

Not sure why you would need something like that. Just prepare a scene already set up for Octane and load it when you want to work with Octane. Or use File/New/Octane Default Config. Or the new Set Octane Options addon we made available on this forum.

Great - that will work. Thanks.

Is there an ...

Thanks Lino - I saw this but don't understand what it is.

When I check it, everything gets very wide, so how would I get it back to where it should be? And what about if I import a tracked camera?

... surely the post operation should sync with the scene, rather than the other way around.

Hello,

I'm experiencing a significant difference between Viewport and Render with the Lens Effect (Chromatic Aberration, Flare).

Tested in 28.14, 28.15, 28.16.1 and 29.10.

Test scene attached. Lino - can you confirm? Or tell me what I'm doing wrong?

Thanks in advance.

Hello guys.

How would I go about having 2 sets of preferences - 1 for standard Blender and 1 for Octane Blender?

...because they both point at Roaming > Blender Foundation > Blender > (Folder for Blender Version) > config... and overwrite each other... which I've just done :roll:

Is it possible ...

Solved - it isn't what I thought it was...

You have to change the 'Sequence playback mode' to 'Extend' (I had it on 'Clip'), so that it registers from frame 1 (if you are delaying the frame start point).

Latest Stable (28.16)

I've figured it out - not sure if it's a bug or not.

If I duplicate the VDB Object (I have done 8 times), and then make the data-blocks single user (because I want to start the sequences at different times, so have to do that), it won't import to Standalone.

I guess the fact ...

Hi guys,

I have a Blender scene with 8 lightweight (1 second burst) VDB sequences.

When I export to Standalone (to prep for RNDR), they don't appear, and I have to remap them all - the object layers(?) are there, but with no sequence inside.

It's a pain to remap every time I want to do a a test ...
