I'm currently running C4d on a PC. When I enable Post from the Octane settings, I see it glares and blooms in the live view but when I hit render it's no longer there. Anyone else having this issue?

I have tweaked the settings several times. what's your plugin version? are you sure the post effect is not overwrote from tag or octane render settings?

Hi Aoktar,

I'm using latest PC win 7 64-bit version (2.0.22). I fixed the problem somehow. I think changing render settings like from 8bit buffer to either float refreshed/updated the renderer. Not sure... but it works now.
I did not have any tags that were overriding... because I could see it during live view... I could make adjustments and it would update... but only when I hit render...
Also, I noticed that if I have different render settings (one for previewing 960x540) and a HiRes settings (1080+), Octane only reads one of the settings and not the active one.

Thanks for making this happen on C4D!!

I haven't never checked the behaviour for different render settings. This may be a problem, i'm writing down to my list.
Thanks

In 2.0 ver there is still a problem with render method setting.
When using "Resend only updated objects" - render looks fine
But with "send all scene data" Camera Imager and Post settings differ in LV and in PictureViewer.

I'll report more details later. I reported this issue some time ago. It hans't been fixed in 2.0.

Hi,

had same problem some time ago.

In my case I had to increase the values/strength a lot, because the
final image resolution was much bigger than the resolution in LiveViewer.
And maybe therefore the effect was there, but too small or not visible in final resolution.

Hope this helpes!

regards
Mike
