REQUEST: We should be able to set Camera Imager White Balance via Kelvin. It kind of blows my mind that this has not been implemented. I don't think the Standalone has it as an option but it seems vital for the plugins. Another user gave me this link that I am currently having to reference and type in values from just to set my white balance. It's getting a little old.

Hi aoktar!
I think i have an issue with the new feature render layer.
It works so fine so far. But i think there is an memory issue.
I have enabled 4 Ids to render. The rendering is fine but after each rendered frame - my ram memory gets more and more loaded.
After the ram is full c4d crash. This happen only when render layer id is enabled.
I'm working on Windows 7/C4D R15/ Octane2.20.
I'll send u the scene file to check.

good news about the Node editor. It works well on the PC's, but it crashes both Macs hard.

Hey Aoktar.
Posted this already over in the 2.16.2-thread.
Im using Rednerpasses and I am wondering if I am doing a mistake with my Z-depth-pass. If you look at the image below you see, that the leaves of the trees don't show the alpha. The depth shows the pure geometry. Is this an expected behaviour or am i missing something?

Hi Ahmet.

Thanks for your great work. I really appreciate what you are doing and the growing of Octane!

I just want to 2nd what was said before about the disappearing render stats at the end of the rendering.
It yould be nice if the stats would not disapear in the live viewer at the end of the rendering.
As user you can deciede wether to toggle them on and off. Even after rendering stops.

Also I noticed a strange behaviour at the GPU stats.
They seem to be switched.

I have 3 cards in my system. and I have turned off the card connected to my display in the octane settings.
This card however "grayed out" is shown as it is actuve.

Maybe this is just a small mix up of data...

Here´s a pictue:

Thanks for your hard work and keep on rocking!

Cheers,
Raphael

Hi Raphael,
there is a parameter in settings->other->keep stats. This will keep infos always on. For gpu infos, there is a matching problem between CUDA and Nvidia api. On some setups, it doesn't match the order of gpus. No way to fix it on my side.
