Hallo together,
I've a few questions about the render passes and the usage of render layers in blender using the octane plugin:
1. Mist Pass:
Is there any way to use the mist pass at all? Usually (in cycles and blender render) you have to setup the distance and borders of the mist in the "world" panel and then the mist pass is rendered looking like a depth pass. But I couldn't find a way to do this with the mist pass of the octane plugin, the pass always shows up as completely black!?
2. Material ID Pass:
In OctaneRender sandalone the Material ID pass gives a color(ed) map of the different materials used on an object. But in the Blender Plugin the material pass is a BW-map, that's by far not as useful as the colored map.
Is there any way to get each material represented as a color in this pass like it was in the standalone version?
3. Render Layers:
An extremly useful feature of blender is, that you can save objects being in different render layers separatly in an multilayer EXR file. Means: you render a scene with objects being in different layers with an alpha channel and can afterwards choose each of them separatly from the exr file for compositing. As far as I figured out the Octane Plugin only saves the combined layer and the differend passes within the EXR.
Is there a way to do that with the plugin, that I just missed???
Thanks for evry advice
