During the render, 1 of 5 GPUs failed, so the render "ends" at 998/1000 samples.

I had to stop the script to break out.

Small bug when using a geometry group (maybe others, not sure):


-- find 'flashgroup', which is NT_GEO_GROUP
scene = octane.nodegraph.getRootGraph()
flashgroup = scene:findItemsByName('flashgroup')[1]

-- bug:
flashgroup:disconnectIx( N ) -- N appears to be Zero-indexed
flashgroup:connectToIx( N ...

The viewport tools...

AF picker
Color balance
Material select
Target select

Color balance does not have a shortcut key (or at least its tooltip does not describe it)

Thanks.

is it the white flash frames?

I've seen this before in a sequence of my own once.. and it was likely PMC.

1.0ish, it was months ago.

Are there any known issues with PMC at this time?

It seems like bumpmap scale is broken, or normals are not unit length, or some other similar bug.

Once I even saw something worse on a non-bumpmaped curved surface where the edges of every triangle were dark at the edges... sorry that I don't have ...

the octane output looks like directlighting instead of pt or pmc.

It may be coincidence, but....

With the Day-Env power @ 100.0, it seems to me that everything works in a reasonable way.

For example - The Sunny-16 Rule "works" @ f/16, ISO 100, Exp=1.0 ....

...and the difference between interior & exterior (and lighting) all seems much more like I would expect ...

Well, I've been experimenting some more.

I built my room piece by piece, roof last...

Trying to imagine what the space would look like (given the same exposure settings in a camera) when the roof was removed in the summer - and I decided that the Daylight Environment must not be calibrated to 1.0 ...

In RC2, I experienced a long delay (enough for windows to timeout waiting for messages to be handled) when switching between pmc and other kernels - seems to be fixed in rc3.

...meaning, can anyone?

There's no shutter speed, and I assume f-stop, ISO, and 'exposure' are all just accumulated into the same multiplier, or very similar.

I wonder about:

Why is the Linear/Off response-curve so much darker than any profile - I'd guess that any of those curves would create ...
