This is a beta release of the OctaneRender™ 2020.1 for LightWave™ plugin version 2020.1.0.2, available for LightWave 11.6, 2015.3, 2018.0 and 2019.0/2019.1 Windows x64 and OSX. This build has been compiled using the Octane 2020.1 XB3 core.
To use Octane 2020.1, you need to have a Studio or Enterprise subscription license. We recommend you to update your NVIDIA driver to at least 435.80 for Windows or 435.12 for Linux.
As with all experimental builds, we advise to not to use this release for production purposes. We can't guarantee that scenes saved with this version will be compatible in future releases, and we anticipate there being several maintenance releases.

Release Notes
=============================================
RELEASE 2020.1.0.2
=============================================
* PLUGIN BUGS FIXED:
- Fixed a bug in the random walk sss node GUI "Lock Step Lengths" feature.
- Fixed a bug in the volume medium node while loading old scenes. The "Lock Step Lengths" option is now enabled by default, as expected.
- Addressed the support of LocalDB materials created as .orbx files without a nodegraph container.
- Fixed a bug in the round edges node load/save functions.
- Fixed a bug in the dirt node.
* OCTANE 2020.1 XB3 FEATURES AND BUGS FIXED:
- Added ability to hide specific objects from being evaluated by dirt.
- Memory optimizations when using the built-in denoiser.
- Minor performance improvements for hair and displacement geometry.
- Fixed 100% transparent object casting shadow on a SSS material.
- Fixed issue causing dirt to work just with the bottom level material when using composite materials.
- Fixed issue causing some scenes using autofocus with RTX to miss some geometry.
- Fixed GPU illegal memory access increasing shutter time from zero when using RTX.
- Fixed network rendering when the master runs on OSX and uses either Windows or Linux slaves.
- Fixed GPU invalid memory access when using auto-bumpmap with RTX geometry.
- Fixed issue causing geometry to disappear when using a baking camera after switching render targets.
- Fixed albedo for hair when the intersected primitive is not a hair primitiv.
- Fixed potential cause for artefacts in pixels which rays would be coplanar to quad primitives.
- Fixed issue in the way memory usage was tracked showing it continuously increasing.
- Fixed issue with auto bump map which was not working properly on the universal material layers.
- Fixed issue in auto bump map's plane size calculation which was causing wrong results.
- Fixed issue that was causing geometry to disappear when using a displacement texture with zero height.
- Fixed scenario in which auto bump would produce results hardly noticeable.
- Fixed crash when using some OSL shaders including some OSL geometry.
- Fixed issue causing full rebuilds after updating scatter nodes.
- Fixed incorrect light sampling when using a a mix of RTX primitives and other primitive types.
Happy rendering,
Your OTOY Team
