Hi otoy,

How about a new roadmap for 2018/2019 ... Are you still planning to release octane 4 this year whereas 3.1 is not released yet ? How do you progress on amd cards support ? Do you work together with amd to solves issues or release a specific driver ? Personnaly i leave octane for 3ds max to focus on blender octane but every release take long time to achieve, Any progress on 3.08 for blender ? i'm so impatient to test toon shader .

Keep the great job, regards.

Julien.

The next release will merge 3.08 with the non-denoiser 3.09 features and is in final testing. All plug-ins should be ready to go with this build. Sorry for the delay. We want this to cover production features for a while, while we work on the denoiser in experimental releases to follow.

Hi Goldorak,
what are the production features waiting in 3.08 ?
Cheers and good look with the finetuning

Off the top of my head, we moved these planned 3.09 features into 3.08 RC:

- Optimized Volta support and performance
- volume AOV passes (emission, absorbtion, scattering, Z, backZ)
- metalic material sheen support
- 3 channel IOR
- proper irradiance AOV (no need to divide with raw flag)
- OSL baking camera
- bent normal AOV vector +coverage pass

Hi Goldorak, could you evaluate those four features more?

Wow, sounds great.
Looking forward for the official release.

Thanks for replying, it sounds great. Time to wait for a blender release

So, just to clarify, by "RC" do you mean "Release Candidate?" Because I'm using 3.08 Test Build 6, and it doesn't recognize the Titan V.
I also thought that 3.08 Stable was dropping soon (like, any second now?)

metalic material sheen support
- 3 channel IOR

By 'material sheen support' do you mean coatings ? and if so will there be an option for flakes as Octane desperately needs a Metallic Paint shader...

Also will there be an option for importing/using 3rd party complex IOR files ?

Thanks
