LayerReflections pass renders the opposite layer instead the one that is selected in Render layers tab. The other passes render from the selected layer.

I've attached an example file.

Hi J.C,

Thank you so much for attaching the file. Our investigation shows this is correct behavior when we render the Layer Reflection pass. In short when selected Layered Reflection pass, it will render the light reflections off the active layer geometry on to the non-active layers. Please see our Octane standalone documentation for details on Layer Passes. [ https://docs.otoy.com/StandaloneH_STA/S ... Passes.htm ]

Also, please check the file attached to render reflection of the object/geometry.

Hi BK,

This behaviour is quite what I would not expect. Why it is designed that way? It's like if you want to turn your car left you have to turn your wheel right ;)
