This is just a minor update we are pushing out to fix a regression in the direct light calculation of transmissive materials. It also improves the render job graphs.
Changes since version 3.04.3:
- Added an output directory to the render job graphs.
- Added a render job group node.
- Added a group attribute (
A_GROUP
) to linker nodes which is used by the node inspector to group inputs, when given. We use it to arrange the inputs of the batch render job graph. We will add the ability to manually specify groups via the GUI in the next release. - When a new project is loaded the current project is first replaced by an empty one, before the new project is loaded. This should trigger a reload of all assets. (see viewtopic.php?p=294382#p294382)
- Fixed incorrect direct light calculation of transmissive materials (see this example: viewtopic.php?f=103&t=57359)
License tracking change since version 3.02
To implement the floating licensing system we need to keep track of all Octane processes that use a specific license on the computer. This way we only release/deactivate a license when no Octane process is using that license anymore. Originally we used a third-party library for that. Unfortunately there were various issues with that and caused crashes during startup in various circumstances. To fix the problem we changed it to an internal (file based) system in version 3.02. Unfortunately this separates the license usage tracking of version 3.02 and higher from the usage tracking of 3.00, 3.01 and 3.01.1.
-> Please make sure that you only run either version 3.00, 3.01 and 3.01.1 at the same time or only version 3.02 or higher.
