Alpha Shadows Different Now (2018.0.2 Octane 3.08.0.7 RC1)

Tue Mar 06, 2018 7:54 pm

I use PSD and PNG alot for stickers if you will. Place over other geometry very close and let the opacity cutout the surroundings. I use to be able to turn on Alpha Shadows and it would make the shadow go away. Now that doesn't work the same.

Is there a new way to use opacity maps to make geometry fully transparent without shadows?

Is this intended to be different than previous builds? Juan?

Not sure, perhaps it is a bug. Can you please send me a scene to reproduce this problem here?

Thanks,

I'll double check my end and make for certain it is not doing what I'm expecting....but right in the middle of a project. It could have been just the RELOAD in IPR not working...did not do full test renders in each.
