Hi!
This is the latest production build of OctaneRender™ 3.0 for Houdini™. This 3.03.4.0 release is available for the Houdini 13.0/14.0/15.0/15.5 last production builds for Windows x64, Linux gcc4.8 and OSX 10.10. This plugin is also compatible with Houdini 15.5 Indie. In this case the plugin will have a 1080p limited resolution while rendering sequence, and the scene export and cloud rendering features disabled.

=============================================
RELEASE 3.03.4.0
=============================================
* NEW PLUGIN FEATURES:
- Support of the new H15.5.565 production build
- The beauty pass in the multilayer EXR files has now the standard "RGBA" channel names.
* OCTANE BUGS FIXED:
- Fixed incorrect fallback to the primary environment when the visible environment is black.
- Fixed volume bounding box sometimes casting a shadow when using environment medium.
- Fixed occasional kernel hang during the displacement intersection test, usually resulting in the that the OS kills the graphics driver and lots of CUDA error messages are dumped to the log.
- Fixed infinite loop that sometimes occurs in scenes with lots of transparent surfaces.
- Fixed ray-sphere intersection for rays starting inside the sphere.
- Fixed occasional issue with PMC seeding resulting in inconsistent brightness in animations.
- Fixed incorrect weighting of render layer passes in areas where blurry/transparent objects of the active layer lie in front of the inactive layer (see viewtopic.php?f=30&t=55903 ).
- Fixed some baking artifacts caused by disagreement between geometric normals and smooth normals (see viewtopic.php?p=284803#p284803 ).
- Fixed the tangent normal pass, which was only displaying perturbations along the U axis.
- Fixed crash in deep pixel rendering when the film size is smaller than the maximum tile size (which is rounded up to a multiple of 4 in each dimension).
- Fixed incorrect size of temporary tone map result buffers. This should help with tone mapping renderings with huge resolution.
- Fixed swapped tone mapping behaviour when HDR image are saved via the viewport save drop-down.
Thanks,
