=============================================
RELEASE 3.08.5.0
=============================================
* OCTANE FEATURES AND BUGS FIXED:
- Improved sheen of the glossy and metal materials: It was too bright and didn't conserve energy.
- Lowered the minimum exposure of the camera imager node from 0.001 to 0.00001.
- Fixed partial shadow on ground planes when using the render layer shadows passes, if there is any light from the environment reaching the plane from below.
Thanks,
