damn you are a legend! that worked

Thanks!!

woops sorry! should hopefully be there now

Hey! Anyone know how i fix these weird artefacts im getting when rendering inside octane standalone...
Have changed the kernel / replaced all materials with the default diffuse materials / rendered without hdri and used emissive meshes.
Mesh has no uv's

awesome thanks for the breakdown - i had it set on direct lighting in these renders. path tracing seems faster tho.

no, is that easy to setup? And what does that actually do?

I worked on the video game Lego City Undercover at Travellers Tales - Just bought Octane a few days ago and figured id render some of the assets i made to learn how to use it :)

I have just started using the Standalone version and am really surprised there is no search function in the livedb tab.. all the other renderers i have used allow you to search for keywords..
Is this being added at some point? Really hard to find specific materials in its current condition
