Can't believe the addon is finally here, going to play around with it more later today. So far, loading in my old scenes or even importing characters crashes to desktop instantly.

I think/hope that they've addressed that issue in 3.2.

Looks like Blender 3.2 has color management options for the Image -> Save As window. So this issue should resolve itself whenever Octane is updated for 3.2.

Hi,

https://www.elsksa.me/scientia/cgi-offline-rendering/octane-render-color-management-b3d may help.

It is strongly recommended to load Filmic OCIO. Octane alone, like any other renderer, does not include an advanced native solution to properly conform high dynamic range radiometrically linear ...

In both 26.3 & 27.0, having Keep Environment enabled under Alpha channel in the render settings causes the interactive render to not display anything until the render is completed.

Bonus bug report: Clicking Show Octane Viewport crashes the Octane server on 27.0.

1. Best Color Management settings:

* Display Device: sRGB
* View Transform: RAW
* Look: None
* Exposure: 0.0
* Gamma: 1.0

Can we have any insight on Octane particle hair performance in Blender for the 2022 addon version? I don't mean to be annoying but I'm struggling to make sense of this performance.

I'm definitely seeing issues with Octane and particle hair. The huge build times aside, rendering particle hair seems to be consuming an insane amount of memory. With Cycles, I can render 7 characters with particle hair. In Octane, using the exact same characters/texture maps, I can only render 3 ...

There seems to be another bug with duplicating lights. Duplicated lights have default values in texture emission node rather than being a copy of the target light.

The side panel for area lights doesn't seem to work. The only way to use lights is by having the shader window open. The material properties window seems to work fine however including the texture emission node.

Using the latest 3.1.2.

Thanks
