Hi Paul,
Issue with 'Render Settings' export / import. Some of the values change to default even though exported with modified values.
Below are the screen shots and the step by step instruction to create the issue.
1. Open New DAZ scene.
2. Go to OctaneRender->Rendersettings
3. Click New button and select Path Tracing as Type and click Accept
You will see the following default settings:
4. Modify all the values - Changes slider / values. Turn option on/off and export it.
5. Click New button and select Path Tracing as Type and click Accept as in step 3 to get the default values.
6. Click Import to import the exported settings.
As you can see the values are different. I have marked as X the settings that did not have the exported value.
Similarly some of the values will reset for the PMC settings export/import. If you need screen shots for that let me know.
I think this should be a fairly simple bug to resolve. It either the export is not exporting some of the values / exporting wrong (default) values or the import is not reading those values correctly or reading it and then some initialization routine within the code is overwriting the values.
One other note. After importing even though the Kernel Settings -> Max Samples was showing 1000 after the import, on the render window, it actually showed the exported value of 256000. Changing the max samples in the render settings would not change this value shown in the render window.
The only way to get the max samples to work again is to select another Kernel Type and then change it back. After that changing the Max samples reflects in the render window. Other settings like Coherent ratio also get stuck until you change the Kernel Type to something else and back. The other settings might be stuck too after the import. Did not try all.
I think the values are being imported back, but somehow not being displayed properly and that in turn leading to the values getting stuck and changing them having no effect to the actual render.
Best regards,
Rajib
