Hi

This is my first time in the maya section of this forum so excuse already for my nobody question :

When i'm rendering IPR with octane, the background of my renders are white or light grey. In the octane camera, the environment tab is setup to black but no matter what still rendering white. what is the exact setup to render black backgrounds? thanks a lot

Hi,

Do you have an octane environment node in your scene? If not create one, make sure it is set to texture environment type and set the texture swatch to black.
