4.02.0.44
- Compiled with Octane 4.02
- Fixed bug setting the Map Import Path and Map Cache Path
- Changed the default Sunlight environment power from 1.5 to 1
- Changed the default Sunlight environment power from 1.75 to 1
- Changed the default Imager settings to a response of sRGB with gamma 1.0
The default setting changes are significant, and I would appreciate feedback from user as to if they are better than the previous defaults.
Thanks

Hi Paul,
So far so good. I still do get crashes with some of my older scenes (same as all the older versions). Still trying to nail it down so that can provide you with a test scene that has the default Daz characters / items. But on the newer scenes, no crashes.
As for the change in default Response Curve, the sRGB for me creates a faded render compared to what I am used to, I still prefer using the Gold 100CD. But I think you can leave it at sRGB. Those of us who actually change this setting will change it as needed. For most the sRGB should be good. I think I will have to tweak my characters materials to use with the sRGB. Once I do that, I will test again.
And regarding the environment power defaulting to 1. I prefer that. So for me that change to default means one less item I need to change when building the new scene.
Best regards,
Rajib
