Just tried out the new version on one of my old scenes and I can't get denoising to work with Photon Tracing. It just seems to cycle endlessly. Is this a known issue?

Actually with the tests done with Unity, Unreal and Octane it was a Driver update issue. Each rendered lighting slightly differently (often brighter) than what they has done prior (we tested it with previous builds on our SVN).

Sadly, when post driver update, 4 separate programs produce different ...

Ahhhhhh, its the composite layers material I was using, it doesn't update but the mix material will. Whew

Hi Guys,

I'm wondering is it possible to animate materials in 3ds max? Currently none of the materials I'm using are animating as I would expect them too. Is there a way to get Octane to commit to a full scene reload to pick up these changes?

Otherwise there a work around for this?

Cheers ...

Ran into an Error with loading render states on several scenes now.

Just noticed an issue with RC7 renders. On several scenes It will not let me load up a render state I saved. Anyone else seen this? This is definitely a first for me

After testing with other renderers, I can now confirm that something is amiss with Nvidia's latest drivers and something occurs that prevent is form being resolved by reinstalling old drivers..... Can anyone confirm this (or is willing to verify)?

So, after getting my 3080 I wanted to test it out on something tricky. On that end after downloading RC7 and updating the Nvidia driver to 461.40, I'm seeing some really weird caustic light transmission from the PMC kernel. Caustics seem to be extremely diffused and soft rather than the stronger and ...

I did in fact try that but it still remained, in fact it almost looked like the longer the samples went, the less the denoiser would work on the glass.

Do we know why the denoiser doesn't work well on these surfaces?
