Version 3.06-TEST-3.1 (WORK IN PROGRESS BUILDS)

[Hatsize7]

It looks like the gamma output is different on the Info passes in this version than it was on 3.04.5. Just sayin'.
Same file opened in the new version. Just turned adaptive sampling on.

Hi,

Noise pass activated by default when AS workin , is very handy thanks .

Hi Hatsize7,
about differences in info passes, yes correct, look at this post by Abstrax in another discussion:

I actually like this change. Info passes gamma always felt wrong to me prior to this. Now I know why.

I seem to be unable to get the subscription version of 3.06-Test-3 to activate. It is almost like it is the regular Octane plugin and not the Octane VR plugin.

Looks like Adaptive Sampling doesn't work with TEST3 (Standalon updated too) or working way slower

PT 1920x1080
Max samples: 3000

With AS: Max 3000, min 1000, Noise threshold 0.03, adaptive strength 1, group pixels 2x2

http://i.imgur.com/uvt3zxR.png - AS 6:41 (TEST-2)
http://i.imgur.com/TfgaOeM.jpg - AS 10:56 (TEST-3)
http://i.imgur.com/svwTKDo.jpg - noAS 11:04 (TEST-3)

Reinstalling plugin and octane standalon, when installing TEST3 both - same result, looks like AS in TEST3 slower then TEST2

UPD.
I compared all this pictures and TEST3 AS picture are less noisy then TEST2, very close to picture with noAS. Looks like something changed with Noise threshold. Same values, but different results. And different render time

UPD2. Looks like something changed. Any explain please?
TEST2 3000, AS min 1000, Noise threshold 0.02 = 7 min
TEST3 3000, AS min 256, Noise threshold 0.02 = 9:30, but less noise at final image.

Have you checked noise pass while rendering for process? Also watch render speed changes. It should be accelerated when green areas grow up.

Why at same scene, same frame and same settings TEST2 and TEST3 have different results at Noise (TEST3 less) and render time (TEST3 twise slower)? Something changed with AS?

[Cheiser]

Installed TEST2 again.
Why TEST3 noise pass grey out? Its ok?

Also is there any way to render Noise as pass, not just to see it in Live viewer? I checked it in Octane settings, but it wont render it as pass in Picture Viewer

[Cheiser]

Second attempt. Same scene, same settings.

PT
Max 3000
Min 2
Threshold 0.03

TEST2 = 6:38

TEST3 = 5:14

Confused. Now TEST3 faster.
But again more noise in TEST3 compare to TEST2 and artifacts (black dots)
