Hi Paul.
... nice trick !
Thanks for your help.
It can work for this particular scene, thanks a lot.
But it's not a general fix because I'm going to have a gradient x object near that surface.
So I really need a gradient ( or whatever procedural that can achieve the same effect ) to be driven by an object ( usually a locator )... that's a technique that I use a lot in the native render and in other 3D software.
I know that because of the "correct" nature of the engine, we lose some biased functionality found in other render solutions ( I'm talking about the Octane renderer itself, not the plugin ), but I really hope this is not going to be one of that "limitations".
I will keep investigating this until as long as my deadline allows me... but if anyone have suggestions or ideas, please don't be shy to share !
