Does this include RT HW acceleration for m3? If not, which version do I need or any estimate when this comes out?

There is only very very few setups that work for shadow catcher. I stayed away from environment lights but it still doesn't work. What do I need to do to get shadow catcher to work any tips please?

I have an object with some universal metallic materials put on a shadow catcher (activated in common ...

Hi I'm on 2022.1.1 R6 and I suspect video textures are broken in this build.

Here is how to reproduce:

1. Use a video texture using Octane Image Texture (not c4d image texture and activate animation / calculate frames)
2. Add a mask in opacity channel using Octane Image Texture (set to alpha) and ...

Oh that's the problem then. Is there any way to make it work or is support coming by any chance?

When I only use lights, they still penetrate through the shadow catcher instead of just rendering the shadow. So the light isn't blocked. Is that intentional?

I create a diffuse object using shadow catcher, upon activating shadow catcher it behaves like an invisible object instead of catching the shadows and letting light pass through. This messes up the lighting setup.

I also turned on Affect Alpha in the render settings but no luck. What changed?

I can see how quickly stack materials in Red Shift became a game changer for artists and vfx built in C4D. Will we see support for stackable materials in Octane as well?

It's a rabbit hole, with motion blur the vdb's stop to align with the geometry too. Let me know if you got my message I dm'd you.

what if the object is emitting smoke? how else would you do it, like a plane crashing?

What I mean with on/off is turning on and off viewport visibility. Could you confirm, that when you have a vdb smoke object moving at fast pace, and you turn on AOV motion vectors, that the VDB will look EXACTLY the same as if AOV vectors were off?

I consider motion blur to be too unstable when combined with vdb's and camera tracking. I understand it must be a super hard problem to solve, but if passes even start to act funny it becomes very problematic, unfortunately.
