How did you light the scene? If you used a texture environment you have to enable importance sampling, but then it should work.

Importance sampling is enabled, yes I am using environment only And nope not working on this scene... Although bringing a ""light object "" work ..
Small issue and I can live with it for now

Have way way bigger issue with the octane for maya... That thing is a joke

just as a confirmation

importance sampling off


and importance sampling on


as you can see the plan is still visible .. a lot less..but still there

thank you for looking into it

here doing the ""light trick ""
adding a light emmiting sphere with a intensity ads low as possible to brighten the shadow catcher enough and hide the effect

Seems octane tries to cast shadows from car head light. Try to switch it off.

nope.. it's still doing it ..
and even if it was the case.. it would be still very bad.. since i need the headlight on in this case .. ( ok.. do not need . but want )
