I have a scene with a bunch of normal maps that I need to be much more visible than it is at a value of 1. Is there a way to put the power of the texture higher than 1 or do I have to adjust it outside of Octane to push it further?

If that's not possible, it would be a really helpful feature to add.

Are you using the standalone or a plugin?
With the standalone at least you can enter power values greater than 1 manually (click the field and type it in).

Change the power value to an octane float texture, this will allow you to enter values above 1.

thanks Fooze but that doesn't seem to work for me. it still caps out at 1, even if i try to manually type it in. I'm not on 2.15 though, is that something that was changed on 2.15? I haven't upgraded because i'm in the middle of a project and worried about the exposure value adjustment affecting things.

looks like it was a version issue. I upgraded to 2.15 and it seems to work.. hopefully everything else matches up! gah! :?
