hi Paul,

not sure if this has been discussed already but now that MODO is discontinued, will you keep the Octane plugin updated to use the latest version of Octane with MODO 17?

ok but that shouldn't be a problem should it?

the ideal behaviour is that AC remembers the settings for each kernel separately. i'm not suggesting that the Path Tracing kernel setting are transferred to Direct Lighting, but that the settings for each kernel are remembered

in MODO for example it ...

also, just testing this again and i don't think either Clay or Colored Clay work when the Polygon Side Invert is enabled.

in fact i'd guess that Clay or Colored Clay work the same way and this may be the reason why Polygon Side isn't working as expected in this case in Clay mode (trying to make a ...

hi Paul,

e.g. i set the kernel to Direct Lighting with Global Illumination Mode = Diffuse, Specular Depth 12, Glossy Depth 3, Diffuse Depth 6

then switch to Path Tracing and back to Direct Lighting and the above values are back to defaults

but unless i'm missing something Colored Clay mode is very different to a Clay render no?

Colored Clay is more like a Normal render, or is there a way to override the clay material to grey?

is there a way to render mirrors in Clay render mode?

sorry for the late reply

yes thank you. afaic this is working correctly now

although Polygon Side does work in MODO in clay mode, so maybe it's a bug in AC if it doesn't work there?

Polygon Side works in Colored Clay mode, but not Clay Mode. In theory, the Clay Mode in ArchiCAD should be the same as Modo.

hi Paul,

does that mean it's an easy fix?

actually this request has little to do with rendering final images. what i'm doing is demonstrating sufficient light levels for a Chapel conversion here in the UK

i started looking into it and what i found at first were light simulations with outputs similar to the ones above. there's specialised ...

thanks for this

thought i'd seen this somewhere but couldn't remember where...

i managed to find another way to work it out that doesn't need these outputs so will use that instead.
