Will octane 4 support RT cores or only cudas
Now that our nvidia talk is done, we can talk about our work on this. We have an internal buid of V4 on RTX, and it’s faster, but not by the same amount we have gotten on Vulkan. We’re working with nvidia on this.
Is the talk online somewhere?

Well, after looking several times, trying and trying again I think this could be an issue.
I have loaded an object than exported again as I changed it and I'm not able to refresh it, just like if it always uses a cached version without updating it.
If I create a new mesh object and load the last exported version, I indeed get the good version, so I have tow meshes pointing to the same obj file but the result is different ...
Hope this is clear ;)

Edit : Forget it, my bad, it was due to a bad UV unwrapping

Denoising volumes is only working with Path Tracing? When I use PMC kernel, the denoising process doesn´t start.

Anyone notice this?

Denoiser on large images crash Standalone and 3ds Max plugin.
Scene is only 1.5 Gb of VRAM. So how much denoiser need to render 5000x5000 pixel?
Please fix it.

Yes, that's currently a limitation. For the denoiser to work we have to render a lot of passes, which we haven't implemented yet for PMC. It also would slow down PMC a lot. We are going to try to solve the issue in the future, but that's what it currently is.

Thanks for your answer.

And the other passes Will also have too a denoised version? Like Refraction, transmission, subsurface ?

Which driver version are you using? I have seen similar issues with driver 397 or higher and had to revert to 391.35 to make it work. If you don't think it's the driver, could you send me a simple scene or instructions to reproduce the problem? Thank you.

I use a separate 'preview' render target with Denoiser off, then I go and render with another one having Denoiser on.
Yesterday I fixed a bug related to enabling and disabling info passes while the denoiser is active. Do you think that the problem you face the same? if not? could you please provide more detail of what were you trying to modify ?.

" Planetary environment: Improved appearance of star field"

By the way, this octane 5 looks amazing https://youtu.be/6ChweQETKTE
Here is a simple scene setup with the planetary environment.

Please note that the images are scaled down to avoid a huge file size.

Thanks it looks nice but will we see one for space animations. Like star fields, galaxies and they dont look pixelated? I really thought we would be able to do this like in this video https://youtu.be/jhc8AdI0MWg?t=3m27s
