Hey Funk,

I hope the Otoy Team give you a complimentary Octane subscription for the outstanding amount of bug reporting you do!

BUG: Batch render job node doesnt save denoised beauty pass

I'm just trying the "batch render job" node and can't seem to save out a denoised beauty pass (its saving the noisy beauty pass instead).

The batch rendering script works though.

Thanks for the report. It will be fixed in the next release.

BUG: It appears the light pass IDs are broken. If I set up a scene with several lights, each with it's own light pass ID and set up light AOV's then only the sun and environment are in their correct AOV's. All the other lights show up in the lightPass1 AOV and any other lightPass AOV's are empty.

I've attached a simple scene to illustrate.

Cheers
T.

Thanks abstrax. I think I actually got it working in a second test, so I'm not entirely sure whats going on.

I should have saved the first test and attached it, but it looks like you guys have found the issue anyway.

I had a look at this orbx and all your lights are set to Light pass ID 1 (its in light > material > emission > light pass ID).

I looks like you mistakenly used the object layer > light pass mask instead. This is used to prevent specific light IDs from lighting up an object.

Ah, Thanks! Octane and I have sadly been separated for some time and only very recently reunited. I hadn't even considered the light linking feature as it's not something I generally do and assumed that was where to set this

BUG: Chaos texture histogram invariant blending changes color of texture

1. Load the scene
2. Right click the chaos texture > render
3. Toggle histogram invariant blending on and off

RESULT: When "histogram invariant blending" is enabled, the color is a lot lighter, which is incorrect

BUG / Limitation? Anisotropy artifacts on triangles generated by Octane's subdivision

I noticed that the new anisotropy generates shading artifacts when I use Octane's (mesh node) subdivision

Thank you for the report. It took a while to track down, but I have a fix for it now that will be in the next release.

Thanks arno

BUG: Hair material producing incorrect melanin colors with new color pipeline

Martimoo brought this up on discord.

1. Load the scene and render
2. Toggle kernel > "use old color pipeline" on and off to see the difference

With the old color pipeline, melanin becomes black at values close to 1. This is correct.

When the new color pipeline is used, melanin at 1.0 becomes yellow, which is incorrect
