Version 3.00 - Alpha10.1 (30.04.2016)

[rwalker]

Hi Ahmet,

Awesome work on v3.
I just wanted to mention a few small niggles that have only come up with this version... and see if it was just me and if they are fixable.

Firstly. My material previews have a high level of black pixelation going on. was fine in 2.25 but noise is clear in v3. Doesn't seem to respond to preview samples under 'other'.

You're not alone with the material preview black pixelation issue. Just so you know. R16.050 Studio.

That looks like a bug on our side. Could you please send me a scene with a material that renders incorrectly in the preview? Thanks.

With 3.0 releasing soon, will we have Deep Pixel support out of Octane for C4D on launch day?

Why not if that's accessible! But i'm in another deep waters now.

Hi Abstrax, thanks for giving this your attention.
Here is a c4d file that just has a basic glossy gold material that has the noise in its preview.
Cheers

joecurrie,
i can't reproduce the problem on windows or osx. Can you save and send this scene? Also please try with latest A6.2

Hi Aoktar,

Please see attached scene and log this is now using Alpha 6.2.

Thanks

In 3.00 alpha 8 I added a new release log flag rdStart which adds some additional logging during the startup of render threads. When Ahmet releases a new plugin based on alpha 8, it would be great if you could try to reproduce the problem with this log flag enabled and send me the files. Hopefully I will then see a bit clearer.

Hey Abstrax,

Thanks so much for looking into this, I'll do a test and send back some files/logs when the new plugin is released.

Hi, If volume with vdb are blended, some artefact appears. Is any chance how resolve it? Thanks.

Hi Aoktar,

For your information.

About the Octane Volume object and VDB import file. The import doesn't work if there is Extended ASCII characters in the path (under Windows 10 64bits).
By sample : "E:\Téléchargement\explosion.vdb" doesn't work but "E:\explosion.vdb" or "E:\Fichiers VDB\explosion.vdb" (with space) works fine.

I hope it'll be usefull.

Have you read standalone's release notes? Mentioned that there is a limit for aount of vdbs which can overlap.
Welcome to performance limitations of GPU development. I mean GPU not cpu. I hope makes some sense.
