The universal material's roughness is affecting clearcoat amount when it shouldnt be

eg. set Kernel GI clamp = 1.0, universal dielectric IOR = 1.0 and coating= 1.0, then compare roughness 0.0 to 1.0. When roughness is high, the clearcoat is dimmer


Seems the visible on specular option doesn't work on Universal materials, we'll take a look.

That is somewhat expected, if you use GI clamp values that low you'll get all kinds of bias in your rendered images, including too dim specular reflections.


Yes I understand, but there is really a different problem here with the coating. Clearcoat roughness is not being changed, only the material roughness. So the clearcoat should not be affected at all

Roeland, here is an example orbx

Start the render, and select the "mat1" group and change ROUGHNESS (not coating roughness), from 0 to 1 and back.

The material has no specular reflection (dielectric IOR is set to 1.0, but you could have set specular = 0 too), so the only "reflection" is coming from the coating.

You can see when roughness is 1, the window reflection becomes dimmer.

If you disable "visible to diffuse", but leave "visible to specular" enabled, you dont see any reflection at all


Roeland, here is an orbx to demonstrate what I was talking about with this issue.

Load the orbx and start the render. Visible to specular is disabled, so we should not be seeing any reflection on the sphere, but we see this noise

If you select the "area light emitter material" group > emission, then disable "visible to diffuse, and enable "visible to specular", we should be seeing a black sphere with a bright specular reflection on it. Instead we see nothing.

If you select the "mat1" group and set the material roughness to 0, the coating reflection will show the expected reflection. This seems to be related to the issue with coating being affected by roughness and GI clamp.

Hi,

Since loading this version, now I cannot seem to load Octane at all.

Render failure in Normal Rendering: GPU failure.
Check the log for error details.

This applies to both the Standalone and the Max plugin.

Yet when I go to the Devices tab, Octane Device Settings, the GPU is listed.

Any ideas?

GTX460 with 391.35 drivers
Max Design 2013,
Octane_4_02_1, and,
OctaneRender_for_3ds_Max_4.02.1_-_6.14.
Regards,

Mathurin

I'm also finding that caustics blur doesnt seem to be working well (or at all?) with coating

eg. If I make the universal material black, with a 1.5 IOR specular, setting caustic blur to 1.0, you can see caustics clear up almost instantly.
If I set specular to black, and use a coating instead, the caustics remain noisy

Here is a scene showing the issue

The top render is coating, the bottom is specular. You can see caustic blur is not working on the coating

cautic_blur_coating_problem.png


1. Load the scene and start rendering. Note this is using specular and caustics get blurred
2. Select the "meshes" group and set specular to 0, and coating to white. Caustics do not get blurred
