hi,

I would like to know if there is a plan for integrating anisotropic materials,
i know that i could use map for doing this but it give me less control and flexibility, than anisotropic parameters.
and i thinks it's really important for a lot of metals objects.

thanks you.

as you can see i've always smooth problem, in a major parts of my tries, does it will be solved on the next release?

Hi,

We will add anisotropic glossyness in the near future.
It's something that's easily done with textures for now.

About smooth shading, there are no improvements possible.
it's user error.

You need to make sure you export your model propperly.
This is dependent on your host 3d app.

You should also put your setup and OS in your signature as we can't help people without any information about 3d host app and hardware.

use the edgesplit modifier in blender on your object(s), then enable smoothing on the material(s) in octane.
