What are the privacy policies for using otoy studio? What we create is used for training? I'd love to start exploring this for some clients, but certain NDAs break when using cloud based tools. Are there specifics we can refence to see if we're able to use this commercially and within NDAs?

Thanks Beppe, I'll try this.

Is there a way to export octane materials created in C4d to to the standalone? I've tried the "export as orbx" in the Octane Node Editor, but the textures don't come across.

DinoMFX informed it it's a current limitation. Here's a workaround he sent me:

"you can just create another Output AOV with a Render AOV layer set to Beauty as a pass and that one will have alpha, also all other passes except the default beauty will have alpha"

One thing to try is to render the orbx file in the standalone and see if it looks the same. I'm curious to see why there's a difference as I can see using both the render network and local rendering for projects as well.

I've noticed some pretty large differences between octane 2023 and 2024 in ...

Thank you for confirming and offering solution! Thais now worked as expected. I'll keep an eye out for the bug fix.

After updating to Octane 2024.1.2 I'm unable to render an alpha channel to PSD renders. I must be missing something extremely basic, but I get a black background in my PSD. The live viewer shots a checkard board pattern, and from what I can tell my settings are right. I even tried placing an octane ...

I just updated to 2024.1.2 and the Queue is working again.

Thanks for the suggestion. I will try that next.
