Hi, thank you for the new RC.
May I found a bug:
If I disable on GPU from rendering for faster working and add it again it don´t render faster.
If I restart Octane it work as before.
Cheers, mib.

Good update as usual !!! But yes, waiting for timeline and 3d motion blur (camera, transform and deformgabrielefx wrote:thank you

"Fixed subsurface scattering for diffuse materials."
that s really great to see the Difuse SSS working now, soooo great
but i have a question.
why the "raystep" control disappeared from the v1.11 of octane. even if i think diffuse work well now inside the v1.13 (i ll check it deeper but my first test work pretty well) I thought it much better to have this control in addition to playing with a gradation between the diffuse color and the color of the scattering, like the v1.10
and my old scenes need to be remapped from the v1.10 to v1.13
this is relevant?
above all, Thank you to have listened and to have corrected this nice part (i looove the octane SSS)

- i wish shadows on mate material from sun....i don't know, is that hard to implement ?
- save location as default in day light system
- ortho camera views presets (front, back, top, bottom, iso etc)
- background image node

It already works like that. I don't understand. Could you explain more, please ?- i wish shadows on mate material from sun

For me its not possible to get shadows from sun on mate material...Is this my error or there is a way to accomplish this using octane environment settings (octane sun)....
Take a look at example...

Very weird !
1- Try to check your normals and overlaping faces or vertices.
2- I noticed that the transmission node is not enabled. Create a transmission node for your matte material, and play with the value of transmission. Small value like 0.001 give strong shadow, but value of 0.000 give no shadow.
However, I have tested on my system, and transmission node is not necessary for matte shadows. Shadow intensity is generally adjusted by playing with alpha of the ground plane.
3- If you get no more result, then try to display in software mode to check if it is not a trouble with Open GL display.
I have no more idea right now.

Humm, just one question, some news about the integrated plugins for blender (ready to test a pre-alpha, alpha released
) and some news about the OTOY cloud for common users ( waiting for super speed and big memory ) ?
Thanks,
Matt
