just a small issue regarding live viewer: in the prevoius versions the render info was greyed out after stopping the render. Now it keeps beiing white.
I found this pretty comfortable because it indicated that rendering has stopped and cards went into idle mode.

Possible to get this again?

I did lot of changes. Don't know and didn't notified that.

I've uploaded 3.03.2 build for Windows. Macos is not possible atm. Could someone try that?

Aoktar, just a quick question (not worth making a new thread about it)

Would it be possible to change the priority on the fly even while rendering? Maybe taking affect with the next frame if it is not possible at the current frame. I've noticed that even if you are restarting the rendering the changed priority is nopt alyways recognized. Then you have to restart Cinema 4D to gor from low thi high for example. It's not a big deal when you are running a GPU monitoring program, but still... it would be pretty nice to change the priority while rendering.

Stability feels good, really appreciate the speed boost when working with complex models.

Now its working, i have to delete some files "otoy_credentials" "license.backup" from the %appdata% folder.

Great. thanks. I was also caught in this way. Deleted the files mentioned and was good to go. Thanks for the share.

Hey Aoktar.

This is getting better and better. Thanks!

Here my question: When rendering a Hardware preview of my animation, it does not show the openGL textures as seen in the ViewPort. Any idea whats going on?

Best regards.

In the latest version, light visibility and object visibility is not working if the camera is behind a glass. If you put the a glass window in front of the camera then any light or object can not be hiden from the camera. Is this a bug or a limitation ? I don't remember if it was the case before.

Thanx for your work!

Hi, I'll try to explain better:
If I have an object and a light behind glass (pic 1) I can see them. If i disable camera visibility on the object and the light, I can still see them behind glass (pic 2) that shouldn't happen I think.

This has always been the case, the way Octane works you can't remove specific stuff from traced refraction / reflections, it's either on or off. I think Otoy are aware that we'd like that ability to control reflections more, but I'm not sure how high on the agenda it is.

This is expected results. Because here camera visibility disabled and this is for hiding the first rays from camera. I think you can use "general visibility". It hides the geometry but keep illumination.

Maybe i can add some parameters for that in render settings. I'll need to test it.
