Hi everybody. Why photon depth in photonT kernel is limited to 16 into the plugin for cinema4d while it's limited to 256 into standalone version? It's possible to have same limit like diffuse, specular and scatter (1024)? And a speedup in reflection/refraction rendering sample?

Not sure why, maybe overlooked values. It's max=256 in standalone

I know it's 256 in standalone ...

Hi otoy. Simple question.
Why don't you invest on bidirectional path tracing if it's so powerful and working very well on gpu?

Here an example I've found with Google (this render working on a single gpu and it's incredible fast)

Bidirectional path tracing!

I really don't understand why otoy doesn't want to invest on it.

A Good question from the topic starter.
And what to do if we need that exact speed and a long light streak in the frame?
I guess this is the engine's limitation?
It's not casual limitation. Developers don't want to have more than 32 time steps cuz they consider thus quantity enough for most of the ...

Hi everybody. I need help with motion blur.
As you can see in the attachment, light trail isn't perfect. I think it's subdivided by time steps (i use 32).
I can't see any options that make any objects trail perfectly smooth and I don't know if it's my fault or some motion blur limits.
Another ...

I know 3ds and c4d are very different but this is an interesting behavior.
This difference aren't present with redshift instead. 8gb available out of 12 with both.

Ps do you have some news from Microsoft for wddm?

Hi everybody. I've tried 3ds max plugin version of octane and i noticed a interesting difference in vram free. About 10gb without RTX and 9.5gb with RTX while in C4D is about 8 gb with or without RTX. (two 3080 ti).
Why this difference?
Blank scene, no mesh/material/light (and caustics seems better ...
