So the basic shadow pass doesn't work in Blender? It seems to only give a white image. Shadowcatchers can't really be used in complex scenes...

Shadows pass renders nicely in the standalone, so I can always export orbx and render it there, but it would be nice to get this working in Blender too.

So does anyone know how to set up network rendering in Blender? I have it working in standalone but can't find any settings for it in Blender.

They should really write a proper manual.

You can create one pretty easily with Blender's ocean modifier. Just add plane -> ocean modifier and render a height map out of it. Like this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EnrrsVzkqnc

Any news about this? It's pretty vital, render passes are pretty useless now if you can't composite a full image.

Like J.C. said Blender's cycles can render glossy as both direct and indirect, this really can't be done with octane?

Hi,

I'm trying to render in passes and composite in Blender. Here's my setup and split view comparison (left: image output / right: composite nodes):

There is noticeable difference in the ground plane which is a diffuse material. Also octane only seems to give me either direct or ...

The model is old and not very accurate, but I think the render came out nice. Some photoshop editing done to add more punch to the image.

Ahh wonderful, I'm so excited about this piece of awesome software.

Don't wear yourself out Radiance! It's really a good idea to have a day off now and then, even if we have to wait a bit longer for the 1.0.

Hey,

Here's my lego buggy, finally getting the render it deserves.

42720 tris, GeForce 9600GT... Rendertime 2:38:13 because of the top lights, otherwise it was done in 10 minutes.

EDIT: Everything modeled and textured by me, so no lego-generators used here.
