Unfortunately almost everything I do relies heavily on transparency either via textures with alpha channels or fresnel shaders.
If I cant visualise opacity in the viewport, I'm lost. Even the 8bit dithery thing that Cinema does by default is perfectly fine with me.

But as the viewport doesn't read ...

I frequently run into issues when converting textures over to Octane than all opacity information from Octane materials is ignored in the standard Cinema4D viewport.

when you don't have 4 x 3080's at your disposal, the standard viewport is still the best tool for previewing animation etc, but once ...

Love the Octane bloom, but I don't want to loose alphas so trying to do them as a seperate pass and combine in post.

But I can't seem to achieve the same look as the live viewer.

I'm exporting 32bit openEXR frames with buffer set to Float (linear), importing both layers into a 32bit AE project.
I ...

OMG seems to obvious now, thanks!

I just finished a queue a day and a half long and realised all my alphas are pure white

Is there way to go back and press out just the alphas without waiting for that whole queue again?

My scenes don't have any transparency or reflections.

maybe you could try with Vector Displacement with Falloff, and SSS :roll:

Hi Beppe and thanks for the tip!

The suggestion sounds good, but I'm not sure I understand how the Vector Displacement works into it.

Are you saying to apply a seperate material with Falloff and SSS just to the displaced ...

I have a clothed figure I'd like to light directly from behind to achieve the common halo effect that comes with doing this in the real world.

Of course by default with a light directly behind there is nothing catching and diffracting the light at the edges.

The obvious thing is to apply some sort ...

I often still use 'billboard' type objects in scenes, i.e plane with image+alpha texture.
Alphas works fine in the opacity channel for Octane materials, but in the viewport the backgrounds are opaque and black which can make the whole scene black the way I'm using them.
Is there a way to have a ...
