Is it possible for us to take a look at the scene orbx?

Hi Haze,
I sent you PM with the link to the scene. it is 3ds max scene. I had no time to convert to orbx. You can try frame 600 and with ai lights on and off while viewport is opened beaty pass only. Thank you

Holy F$%^! FBX's import with materials....PBR! they are coming in as Universal!!!
Only thing is the materials are all coming in at 0% Opacity, so I have to raise all to 100%.
But, still...awesome

Could there be some way to set another object in scene as an axis for the Spectron lights, they are very difficult to work with, for direct targeting, I am finding.
You would really need one of those 3DS Max-like 4 way split screens showing Top/side/straight viewpoints etc....

Nice!.. It has been my hope that this was going to be the case with glTF 2.0 import. I think I have my answer.

BTW - Spectron is awesome

My dedicated song to Octane, now that I explored import of FBX with materials, and Spectron:
Tonight, I celebrate my love, for you.....

Otoy - when I import the FBX it came in with 0% texture opacity on all channels.
Maybe have an option in FBX preferences, for material import, where you could have an Opacity Import amount (0%-100%).
Then I could set it to 100% and, voila!

Or, have it auto-default to RGB-white, which is 100%.

You know what...just realized, PBR applications sometimes will have a color defaulted for Opacity, usually is white.....
Sometimes they are not auto-populated, but if they were to be, looks as though Octane would yes import them in at 100%.
Still, would be nifty for those cases where Opacity map color is void/black.

In the node list for this build you have Vectron, but not Spectron.

Hi Guys,

I did some test on the Cryptomatte, and there is some issues on the output weird black pixels on the output. Also I would like to ask to have the passes working with the Info kernel so we could have just this passes as one exr for faster output if I add material ID (ao, depth, wireframe) and add cryptomatte as passes is not working, I guess need the sampling information maybe the reason is working only with the main Path tracer kernel.

Otherwise when I'm rendering such HD or 4K the black pixel is such small (cause one pixel) is hard to spot, but for small images size is spot on, best to see if we can have better result.

Thanks a lot Guys great work so far.

Cheers,
JO

Hi, we will improve this during the next releases.

Hi Roland,

Thank you, to let us know. Also I would like to ask a question for the object ID on the cryptomatte the problem is by default "objectlayer" has always same name on the scenes when export from the plugs I think for this feature to work we need make sure automatic on any plug should rename the "object layer" with different names to work is a pain in the neck when we have more then 100 nodes on the scene and they all have same name could we have a name automatic with number on standalone or a script to change that automatic? to "object layer_1" and _2,_3 and etc. Would be a great thing.


EDIT:
I tested with a plug export in alembic and the "object layer" node has different names but is not recognised on cryptomatte object id pass.
maybe need to be recognised in a automatic way like the object id pass ? this would solve everything actually, what you guys think?


Cheers,
JO
