thank you for getting back! not sure where i will have to insert that 'heartbeat' flag? my commandline looks like this:

Code: Select all

"/Applications/OctaneRender Daemon 3.08.1.app/Contents/MacOS/octane_slave_daemon" --slave "/Applications/OctaneRender Daemon 3.08.1.app/Contents/MacOS/octane_slave" --alias "Supercat" --port 48000 --out-of-core 8g; exit

thanks again for your support

markus

You would follow these instructions
viewtopic.php?p=339955#p339955
and add the log flag heartbeat to the slave flags file (octane_log_flags.txt). I have attached a modified archive below.

If you can't get the logging working, I will come back to you tomorrow morning as early as possible.

ok thanks! i did follow instructions and this is result see attachments...

3.08 stable works just fine: https://www.dropbox.com/s/4j9cxgdvofucy ... 1.mov?dl=0

Thank you both for running the test. It seems that the net render slave hangs during shutdown. I'm trying now to figure out where that might be, but if I can't I will make you a special build with more logging to check at which step it exactly hangs and then come back to you. Thank you for your help.

EDIT: Ok, looking at the logs again, it's a bit different: The slave actually shuts down. It just takes a long time (~8.5s), and the daemon should wait 12s but waits only 4s due to a bug. I don't know why that problem doesn't occur in 3.08 and I also don't know which part takes so long to shut down. -> I will sort out the incorrect wait times in the daemon and add a lot of logging to try to find out what's taking so long and send you the build via PM.

Another week another broken promise.

Sorry for the inconvenience - while this is otherwise a feature complete release, we should have also noted that the offline system for 3.08+ is still at least a week or more out as we compete testing on a new backend for this. If anyone requires offline mode sooner, I’m recommending staying on 3.07 for just a little longer. Please contact help desk if there is a hard and immediate requirement for offline mode with 3.08.

We ran into several unforeseen QA issues with the offline mode system which pushed this out further than we hoped - but sorted that out last week. We'll post in this thread with a precise update once we have finished QA process by EOW.

I noticed the alpha channel was aliased while trying to do a back-to-beauty composite in Fusion. This is bad!

The alpha channel in exr will not be anti-aliased whether or not you multiply the color channels with it (by checking the pre-multiplied alpha checkbox in the Imager). This is true for all beauty passes I tried. Not true for info passes.

The work-around while they fix this is to take the alpha from an info pass and transfer that over to the beauty (in a compositing package).

Otoy, is there a way to switch between color and alpha in SA viewport?

The alpha channel in exr will not be anti-aliased whether or not you multiply the color channels with it (by checking the pre-multiplied alpha checkbox in the Imager). This is true for all beauty passes I tried. Not true for info passes.

Is it possible that you enabled the option disable partial alpha? This should usually be disabled unless you want to compose a render layer on top of the residual layers which have been rendered separately and need this option being enabled (see viewtopic.php?p=269484#p269484).

Regarding the pre-multiplied / straight alpha: Octane pre-multiplies alpha if the option is enabled in the imager node. By default OpenEXR image should be saved with this option enabled.

The work-around while they fix this is to take the alpha from an info pass and transfer that over to the beauty (in a compositing package).

Otoy, is there a way to switch between color and alpha in SA viewport?

Currently that's not possible in the standalone.

[DigiChuckle]

Hi abstrax, no, Disable partial alpha is not enabled.

The combined beauty is anti-aliased. However, individual beauty passes are not. Those info passes which have alpha, are anti-aliased.

I don't pre-multiply the alpha because I don't want to have to divide it before color ocrrection in Fusion. Straight alpha + color correction + alpha multiply = no issues. The aliasing however, is a nuisance since I have to manually replace the aliased alpha channel with one which is anti-aliased. Easy for the alpha, indeed, but impossible for the RGB of passes.

According to me alpha multiplication and channel aliasing are 2 unrelated subjects.

[DigiChuckle]

Hi again! So, I tried four SA versions. The aliasing of beauty passes is a problem in all versions above 3.07 stable. In V4, too. So, what's changed vis-a-vi anti-aliasing since 3.07?

Nothing that I am aware of. Could you send me an example scene and a description of how you compose in Fusion so I can understand your problem better? Because I couldn't see any issues, if the imager settings are correct.
