Hi,

This is a stable release of the OctaneRender™ 2019.1 for LightWave™ plugin version 2019.1.5.1, available for LightWave 11.6, 2015.3, 2018.0, 2019.0/2019.1 and 2020.0 Windows x64 and OSX. This build has been compiled using the Octane 2019.1.5 core.

To use Octane 2019.1, you need to have a Studio or Enterprise subscription license. We recommend that you upgrade your NVIDIA driver to version 419.17 or newer.

New features
To learn more about the new features and improvements of OctaneRender 2019.1, please check out the 2019.1 release post, but this a quick list of the main new features that have been added:

  • Improved volume AI Denoiser.
  • OSL and procedural vertex displacement and displacement mixer, including auto-bump shading.
  • OSL Shaders for volume textures.
  • Layered materials, including all the new material layers nodes.
  • Composite material node.
  • Universal material thin wall option.
  • New rounded edges, including the new round edges nodes replacing the old options available in the material nodes.
  • Bloom/glare threshold.
  • AI Up-sampler options in the imager node.
  • Increase maximum number of alpha intersections to 200. This fixes some scenes that have a huge amount of alpha maps.
  • Added the affect roughness option to kernel nodes "The percentage of roughness affecting subsequent layers' roughness"
  • Spectron volumetric spot lights.

Release Notes:
=============================================
RELEASE 2019.1.5.1
=============================================

* PLUGIN FEATURES AND FIXES:

- Fixed a bug in the round edges node load/save functions.
- Fixed an issue in the IPR refresh while working with LW2015.3
- Added support for LightWave 2020.0


=============================================
RELEASE 2019.1.5.0
=============================================

* PLUGIN FEATURES AND FIXES:

- Added support for the volume materials updating when the update volumetrics option is enabled.
- Improved precision while computing the mesh volumes.

* OCTANE FEATURES AND BUGS FIXED:
- Improved rounded edges rendering (in accurate mode). The rounded edges node has now a new pin Samples which allows you to control the accuracy of the rounded edges.
- Fixed autobump which didn't work correctly for projection types other than mesh UV.
- Fixed missing updates in displacement mixer trees.
- Fixed incorrect access of pins during set up of displacement causing error message "Tried to access null node".
- Fixed microfacet BRDFs for metallic/universal materials with high roughness (regression from 2018.1).
- Fixed the default behavior of universal material when the roughness pin is not connected.
- Fixed dirt node not working with composite materials.
- Fixed too bright rendering of glossy surfaces behind specular surfaces with the direct lighting kernel in diffuse GI mode.
- Fixed fake shadow being switched off when albedo is > 0 in universal material.
- Fixed mix material being ignored when it is connected to a layered material.
- Fixed slightly incorrect sampling of importance sampled environments.
- Fixed various memory leaks in Octane and libraries used by it.
- Fixed access violation when changing render geometry and peer-to-peer memory (NVlink) is being used.


=============================================
RELEASE 2019.1.4.0
=============================================

* PLUGIN FEATURES AND FIXES:

- Fixed a crash while resizing the IPR window.
- Fixed a crash in the render target material override options.
- Fixed a crash while adding volumetric spotlights.
- Added support for UV mapped area lights for the Color and Float image types.
- Fixed the noisy thumbnails in the octane lights when there is no valid IES data.
- Added the envelope buttons for the hair width base and tip in the Octane Object Properties.

* OCTANE FEATURES AND BUGS FIXED:
- Overhauled the auto-bump feature of vertex displacement, which fixes multiple issues that were reported. Now, auto-bump works with vector displacement maps as well and you can add an additional bump map on top of auto-bump.
- The overhauled auto-bump now supports all projection types and extra UV sets.
- Fixed direct lighting kernel looking different to v4 and 2018.1 when fake shadow is used + when a bunch of glossy materials with no diffuse and specular textures are used.
- Fixed volume rendering in legacy mode.
- Fixed a small memory leak when rendering is stopped.
- Fixed wrong handling of extra arguments in the OSL environment() function.
- Fixed minor bug in OSL compiler which breaks float val[2]; getattribute("camera:clip", val);.
- Improved auto-bump to preserve sharp edges of the geometry.
- Fixed crash when you try to render a displacement mixer with an unconnected displacement pin.
- Fixed toon rendering of bump/normal maps.
- Fixed problem that a mixed universal material with 1.0 mix factor renders differently to a universal material - when there is some transmission involved.
- Fixed render artefacts with specular materials that have an IOR between (1 .. 1.00005).
- Fixed missing thin film interference if RGB IOR or IOR + color is used in layered materials.
- Fixed incorrect fake shadow colour if a vertex attribute texture is used in the transmission channel.
- Fixed environment shadows missing in the general shadow pass.
- Fixed error "unexpected primitive type 2" when you try to use the baking camera and displacement.
- Fixed kernel failure if you render accurate rounded edges with the PMC kernel and a baking camera.
- Fixed exception handling on MacOS which should reduce the delay/freeze during a crash.

- Fixed volume render inconsistency when using legacy mode.
- Fixed incorrect denoiser output when enablign some light passes.
- Fixed upsampler not working properly for the very first time on some GPUs (this does not fix the upsampler on Win 7, which is still an unsolved problem).
- Fixed kernel crash when using accurate rounded edges if adjacent geometry of an edge is a displacement triangle.
- Fixed discontinuities in shading normals for some cases when using fast rounded edges.
- Fixed a bug in the vertex normal calculation of vertex displacement geometry which was causing the geometry to look facetted when using the join unwelded vertices option.

Hi Juanjo

Happy New Year to you.

I would like to know if it is possible for Kenel to work as I show in this video.

The same example fits cameras and enveronments.

I believe it would be simpler to work this way.

Thanks.

We are trying to render a scene with instancing (with texture maps driving the Y-offsets based on distance to a null) and whatever we try, even with full scene reload, the instances' positions do not update at render time. Is there any known workaround to this problem? We have had this same issue in every Octane version prior to this and we were REALLY hoping to have a solution in this version. Has anyone been successful at having instances being animated?

I think that I've seen this problem before, and unfortunately I had not been able to resolve it because somehow this issue came from LightWave itself. The only solution was to render the scene frame by frame using LWSN or a rendering script, like the one attached here.

Hope it helps,

Hi Juanjo

Just wondering if there is a problem with the plugin / lightwave or my set up?
On large scenes i have to reload the scene a few times to get it too render, when it does, it
renders perfectly. Am using the latest studio driver 442.19 and have 3 render nodes.

Best regards

And what happens when the scene can't be rendered? Do you get a crash, or missing objects? Perhaps sometimes you are running out of VRAM, specially if you are rendering with the GPU used for the monitors.

Thanks,

hi

I am not using the monitor gpu to render. octane does not crash. yes the scene uses out of core memory.
the ipr loads the scene but only renders the background so I have to reload
the scene in the ipr and then it renders properly...
just annoying having to wait for a scene to reload once or twice to get it too render.
doing an F9 render, octane renders perfectly....it's the ipr that has the problem..

Hi Juanjo

ipr first round.jpg


ipr third round.jpg


here are two screen shots from the same session in lightwave......no crashes etc.
i had to reload the scene 3 times, in the ipr, before it rendered....
