Post effects baked into Beauty in Octane 3

[shoqman]

In Octane 2, when I would check the "post" render pass, the post FX would be removed from the beauty pass, enabling it to be easily composited back together with full control over the post pass itself.

Now in Octane 3, checking the post render pass saves the post fx out, but also leaves it baked into the beauty pass as well, so I can't manipulate them separately in compositing.

Is there a reason for this? Or am I missing how to get it to do this now?

Hi shoqman,
have you ticked the "Save beauty" option in the Render Passes tab?

Yes, both the beauty pass and the RGBA pass that Cinema saves now have the post FX baked into the render.

Hi shoqman,
you are right but I guess it is not plugin related, there is an issue in the SDK.
I'm going to inform the devs about this issue.
For now, as a workaround, save your rendering with the Post effect disabled, then made a second one of just few sampling just for the Post effect pass

Yeah that's what I have been doing. Thank you for looking into it!

Hi shoqman,
thank you for pointing it out, the bug will be correct in the next SDK version.
