Re: Hello is there a way how to render motion blur or use motion vector pass for freezed simulation?

We support the motion blur data for x-particles when it exists. Which I believe should always exist when rendering in the PV.
Let me know if this is not the case.

The live viewer might not always show them when scrubbing the timeline.

Re: ACES 1.2 from Octane looks washed out and grey in After Effects (whites not matching)

Here are my settings:

Re: Files!

In the 2026 build of Octane image nodes will output all 4 channels of the texture. We havnt implemented this yet for existing RGB image nodes in the plugin yet.
When we do I am thinking of adding multiple output pins similar to how it is done in Unreal. I have added a ticket for this.

Re: How to get the ID of octane's Decal Texture node?

I tried to manually connect it to a diffuse slot in an octane material and ran some script to get the shader details in console and got this

I’m on MacOS 26 Tahoe and MacBook Pro M3 Max.
Same issue on C4D 2025 & 2026 so I’m assuming it has to do with Tahoe.

Yes 26 is not supported yet. We are working on it.

Re: Octane 2025.3 for Cinema4D - v1.7.1


Same issue here. The GPU is deselected and only denoising is active.

When setting the device options, only denoise is even listed as an option.
Once exiting the device settings, the GPU check reverts back to unselected.
