OctaneRender™ 2020.1.4

Dear all,

We are happy to share a new release of Octane.

Octane 2020.1.4 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 macOS CUDA drivers that currently support RTX.

OctaneRender 2020.1.5 has superseded this build.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 2020.1.3:


Bugfixes:

  • Fixed issue causing Octane to not to start on machines using older CPUs without AVX instruction set support.
  • Fixed issue causing macOS (CUDA) Render Nodes to deactivate their license even if there are other instances of standalone or plugins currently running on that machine.
  • Fixed triplanar projection in OSL when used as emission texture distribution.
  • Fixed issue causing displacement nodes not working with layered material nodes.
  • Fixed white balance picking when upsampling was enabled.
  • Fixed a crash on Windows 7 when upsampling was enabled.
  • Fixed documentation and typos of a few dirt texture node pins.
  • Fixed batch render script causing erroneous results with scenes using universal camera, geometric primitives, vectron union and volumetric spotlight nodes.
  • Fixed issue causing hair primitives and geometry using texture displacement to temporarily disappear after scene some scene changes.


Other changes:

  • Geometric primitives material defaults to the default diffuse material.


Under investigation:

  • Auto-bump disappears in some cases using a mix of RTX and non-RTX GPUs with RTX on.
  • Octane fails to start in some machines with old dual Xeon CPU setups (affected known models are ES-2687, EX645).
  • CUDA error in some scenarios when using NVlink due to mismatching barriers.
  • Artifacts in some materials with roughness values close to zero.

I am currently using Xeon 2680V4,Xeon 2697v3, Xeon 2697 v2 which are all dual Xeon settings,
Can I ask if they will be working for this version, or I have to wait for next update?
Thanks,

Jim

Thanks team! Especially for the AVX fix. Octane is running on my machine again.

Hi Jim,

I have updated the entry in the initial post adding the models that are currently known to be affected.

While the CPUs you mention are currently not in the list, since the extent of the issue is currently being investigated it would not be safe to tell you whether they will work or not.

Please let us know should you find any issues. We hope to fix this in the next release.

Thanks for the heads up Funk, I will add this to the list of known issues since it just couldn't make the cut for this version.

Cool, thanks, I will try it.

There is a bug with Random Walk, Dirt and Layered Material.
Dirt doesn't work when plugged into Random Walk albedo, however it works when combined with diffuse layer and layer opacity set to 0.
2020.1.3 has the same bug.

Where did Network rendering go in the newest version? Also I am only able to select two of my 4 RTX 8000's in the device selection. Forgot to mention this is in the Cinema 4D plugin. Is network rendering not implemented yet and is there a bug only allowing 2 GPU's to be used? Standalone works with all GPU's and network rendering.

It seems that you have installed the Studio version instead of the Enterprise version.
Studio versions are limited to max 2x GPUs, without Net render and Offline mode, while Enterprise versions have no limitations.
