Re: Aces Diffuse (Info) pass colour issue

Hi Ryan,

Could you please confirm exactly which pass you're exporting? For example, "Diffuse", "Diffuse filter (beauty)" or "Diffuse filter (info)". I assume it's Diffuse filter (info) because you mentioned info but I just want to make sure.

It would also be helpful if you could also attach the ...

Re: denoiser darkens images with custom bokeh

Thanks for the report. This issue is a bug in Octane core and will be fixed for future releases. As a workaround until then, you can use a texture where none of the pixels are pure black (e.g. very dark gray).

Re: OctaneRender® 2025.1 Beta 1 [current 2025.1]

Is it possible to get support for OpenColorIO v2?

It looks like 2025.1 (and 2026.1) are still struggling to parse cg-config-v2.2.0_aces-v1.3_ocio-v2.3.ocio . Displaying "No config file" under preferences.

Unless it's something I'm doing incorrectly.

OCIO v2.1 is supported, but that config ...

Re: I really miss the function of adding high render detail

I suspect this is a problem in the Octane plugin for 3ds Max specifically, because I have never seen this issue in Octane standalone, so it would be best to report it in the section of the forum for that plugin.

Re: I really miss the function of adding high render detail

Here I rendered it, there is no post-processing, the file is original, at 4k it is very poor quality, you can’t even make out the structure of the floor pattern, it’s blurry

Those images are pixelated (not blurry), which is caused by Sampling mode being set to 2x2 sub-sampling in the first ...

Re: Ocatne Daylight Model - please add sky glow around Sun

I see. Would it work to just decrease sun intensity? Note that the maximum turbidity value of 15 only represents a moderately hazy sky - if you are trying to reproduce actual overcast conditions your best option is to use an HDRI. The Hosek-Wilkie model actually only goes up to a turbidity of 10 ...

Re: Ocatne Daylight Model - please add sky glow around Sun

From the second video, it appears that when "Custom Sky" is enabled, when you change the "Clear <-> Cloudy" parameter it's actually the sun size that gets changed, not the turbidity. In Octane standalone I can produce a very prominent sky glow around the sun with the Octane model by increasing ...

Re: OctaneRender® 2023.1.2 [current 2023.1]

It looks like AgfaColor Futura 100,200,400 and Futura II 400 Responses are exactly the same...

They are very similar, but not exactly the same. If you save two image files and compare, you can see that Futura 100 is slightly darker than 200 which is slightly darker than 400, and Futura II 400 is ...

Re: OctaneRender® 2024.1 Alpha 3 [current 2024.1]

Hi, is image filtering in the standalone viewport somehow broken in alpha 3? On Mac OS 100% scale sometimes looks jagged and zooming in looks way too blurry. Saved images look correct and this is not an issue in alpha 2 standalone viewport display.

here you can see how it looks from screenshot at ...
