Hello,
I love what you do guys, I'm not sure if you deserve the critics that I will write here. I'm still hoping that I missed a release, or note, and writing these by missing something.
But I'm a bit of lost here. Latest stable release of Octane is 2020.1.5 which doesnt support denoising on RTX 30xx cards. Latest 2020.2 RC7 has problems on denoising (it kicks in with random delays).
I use Octane with Modo plugin. I bought an RTX 3070 in the middle of 2020, renewed my Octane maintenance, it passed several months over it, and still I can't render a denoised shot with a "stable" Octane release in Modo.
I dont know if I will be able to use RC releases with confidence on my commercial projects with this GPU too... When do we get a stable Octane 2020.2 version with plugins? Isn't this delay of months to support a new technology card a bit of weird?
P.S. 2020.2 RC7 finally generates denoised renders with these series of cards without random crashings like on the RC6, but on the RC7 denoising takes more than 1 minute per frame on RTX 3070!*
*A correction about the denoising time of 2020.2 RC7
It takes random times to complete the denoising. sometimes 3 seconds, sometimes 26 seconds, and another one took 56 seconds. and sometimes it just doesn't finish.
