We are happy to share a new release of Octane.
Octane 2020.1.3 is our latest maintenance update and the version currently recommended for production use.
Make sure to use a NVIDIA Studio driver with version at least 435.80 for Windows or 435.12 for Linux to enable support for RTX hardware acceleration. There are no OSX drivers that currently support RTX.
OctaneRender 2020.1.4 has superseded this build.
Should you find any issues with this release please report using this thread so we can make sure we provide you with the best feedback.
Changes since OctaneRender 2020.1.2:
Bugfixes:
- Fixed regression causing VDB files of version 224 to not to load.
- Fixed issue causing the searchbox to be canceled when clicking on the scroll bar.
- Fixed mix material not rendering the auto-bumped normal when multi-layer material was used in one of the material slots.
- Fixed issue causing the light pass to not to capture direct light if the cast shadows option was disabled.
Other changes:
- Allow OSL texture and projection shaders to have multiple outputs from which Octane will use the first one.
- Allow OSL shaders to have float output which will produce a greyscale color.
Currently under investigation:
- Some users have reported issues with old CPUs due to AVX instructions, this affects standalone, slave and plugin builds (will be fixed in 2020.1.4).
- Some scene updates on instances which use texture displacement make them to temporarily disappear (will be fixed in 2020.1.4).
- CUDA error in some scenarios when using NVlink due to mismatching barriers.
