when i turn off the camera visibility ，shadow pass seems not the right result.

I've been using 3.06 Test4 in production for about 2-3 weeks now, and it's been pretty solid. I needed the motion blur support for Realflow fluids, so thank you for that, aoktar. Two things:

1) It seems that with the Folders option enabled in the Render Passes settings, if you use a token as a directory name, an extra folder with the token name will be created. Everything seems to save as normal in the proper directory though.

2) Is there support for Realflow wetmaps? If so, how can they be used?

The attachment octane-settings-306.jpg is no longer available

1) I could not reproduce that on first try but I'll check later.
2) I need to check this but its propably a kind of vertexmap. Right?

I don't believe the Wetmap is vertex-based. If you cache a Realflow sim with wetmaps enabled, it'll bake out the map as a PNG image sequence.

After some testing, I realized that you can just use the image sequence in an ImageTexture node. I guess that the C4D Octane plugin doesn't interpret the WetMap shader in the same way the native C4D materials do.

Hi sbstnc,
here you can read about Adaptive sampling:
viewtopic.php?f=24&t=60014
In short, the "Min. adaptive samples" value defines the samples needed to have an estimation of the noise for each pixel, then the Adaptive sampling can use this estimation and starts to work.
As a rule, the more the noise threshold is high, the more samples are needed for a good noise estimation, so with 0.02, 256 samples are enough, with 0.05 you need 512 samples and so on. Going over 1020 samples are not necessary for the noise estimation.

Thanks, I went back and re-read the post you've linked to. I am still fuzzy on how I tell what area of the image is getting x number of samples or what areas got the least/most. Even at default of 256 though it seems to be working really well, I have been able to up samples overall quite a lot and get a much better image for the same render time. I just need to work out now how to tweak these settings to get the magic combination of better results in less time (as opposed to better results in same render time!).

But many thanks to everyone for this version, I had problems with the previous test .3 so didn't try again until this release. Working for me well so far!

Hi Aoktar,

the version is very stable, non crash at the moment.

Would you mind to upload a triplanar node scene?

Thank you

Hi,

3.06 is stable and smooth on Mac OS 10.12 (with Nvidia GPX 980Ti)

Only insertion of node with alt in the node editor does not work...



Great work!


Thanks, Andreas.

It's working but there's a refresh problem for nodes. It should update well the nodes if you select "Auto load materials" option.

Ah.. that helped.

Thanks!

What do you want to know? I'm not master for that. But it looks simple if you read notes about that from standalone topic.

Hello,

In 3.06 Panoramic/Spherical camera does not work together with motion blur enabled!
(when mb is enabled I get a field of view of 90 degrees)

This worked well in 3.05.

Also the cylindrical camera does not work at al in 3.06


Can this be fixed?


Thanks, Andreas.

It's a renderer issue. I'll ask for that.
