Thank you, yeah that's what I've been essentially doing. Would be nice if they added to the octane object tag a way to streamline all this so we only have to perform one render.
You idea is not clear, but it's not a thing that you can do by adding some tag or so. Scene data should be send and ...

Hi,
you can sett the Kernel to 1 Max Samples, in this way the Beauty render time will be almost zero, and only active Auxiliary/InfoChannel AOVs will be rendered.
You can also avoid to save the Beauty, to save only Cryptomatte AOVs.

Thank you, yeah that's what I've been essentially ...

Is it possible to have some geometry show up on the cryptomatte EXR file but not in the actual render itself?

Thanks!

Thanks! Yeah I know this will work. I was just making sure that there wasn't a better way with scene scaling. I'll take there's not.

I'm having no issues whatsoever with dragging in images. That's strange but you can import them normally through an open prompt?

I would create a cinema 4D node material and see if you can drag an image into C4Ds node editor over there. If you have issues there, you might have an issue that's not ...

Here's an image of what I get. The cube is 100M and the camera is about 700 meters away. Any thoughts at all on this?

Here's the scene file https://www.dropbox.com/s/d4qi7tmfbt4wdc3/Artifact.c4d?dl=0

I noticed that if I have camera more than 500 meters away from a large object you will get a sort of self shadowing artifact issue on the geometry.

The Ray Epsilon setting can help fix this but I've seen in other forums that this is not ideal and I should be scaling my scene accordingly. I do have ...

Just answer my own question, this is solved by adding an C4D color node to the diffuse channel. Then one could use xpresso to change colors that way.

Is there a way to convert the sRGB color that's is the user data of an object to the linear point color in an octane material?

I have an xpresso tagged to drive the color the user data color to the diffuse color but in order for the color to be correct I have to go to project settings and change ...

Thank you! I don't know why I forgot that. Probably because it's the first time I've had mismatched GPU's.
