ok perfect, exactly what i was looking for.

maybe you could help me with another issue i have i don't know why. when i'm using HDR light in my scene everything woks fine with IPR, works like a charm.
as soon i put an octane light or a mesh with light shader the IPR computes and stops before i have ...

hi guys,
i don't find how to have a plane in maya with a diffuse octane emitter and have an ies light in this material, would it be possible?

thank you beppe,
yeah i've tried that, i've tried to 32, it does something but not removes all that strange black effect, weird.
also sorry i can't post any screenshots with projects i'm working on (confidentiality..) but i'm gonna try to mimic that on another mesh to post.

thanks

also sometimes i got really strange refraction distortion, even with smooth tag alt ought the mesh seems to be ok, forgot to mention it is in maya.

hi guys,
i'm trying different glass materials and have the same issue with all of them, material its ok but depending on the viewing angle (when close to 90°) the glass turns to black with strange effects ( like gasoline on a ground) my mesh is a low poly not flat. i would like to get rid of that ...

and btw, MANY THANKS to all the prompt replies and solutions here you guys post, when you work it is so pleasant ,you can then go on further with your work.

don't worry, you're not hijacking nothing, i'm new to octane and every time i try ...

If you try and render the parts as a whole as your first render when you open Maya (open maya, render your whole object literally before you try rendering anything else) does it render? Then if you stop the the render, you can't start it again until you restart maya?

That's the situation I'm in ...

does it slows down the render? what setting should i use for out of core?

yeaaah;) look like it is working! (for the moment) THANK U!
