Where to get information on new nodes?
How to work with them?
- New texture nodes: composite..

Hi,
Here is a video showing how to create a "Lightmixer" type setup with the new AOV system.


Light mix with AOV system - Octane Render and Cinema 4d

I don't have any manual yet. Not complicated to solve that for my opinion. There will be update on manual when stable version out. This is a preview version. Please read first post why I release it.

hi ahmet,

during setting up a project i find a strange behavoir with refractions:

rendered with oc 2020.1.5_R4

and rendered with

2020.2-RC5 (Preview release)

is that a known issue?
if you want i send you the projectfiles via PM

beside that: during the last 3 days oc2020.2-RC5 (Preview release) works very stable!
great job (as usual) ahmet! thanks a lot for the new version!
cheers

There seems to be some intersecting speculars there. Have you tried to disable the new <<nested dieletrics>> feature? Or pherheps play with material priorities?

hi kalua,
disabling "nested dielectics" works!
i doublechecked the geometry: no intersectictions or some other nasty stuff. i also played
with ray-epilon-value: no effect.i have to disable "nested dielectics" to get rid of this render-failure.
thanks!

It is no render-failure: You must set priorities values to those materials, because you seem to have a specular shader intersecting another body with different shader. You will find the priority value in shader's common tab.

Hi,

Is there any information on how to get the "old" tonemapped feature?
For example, right now I'm trying to render a z-depth pass with a VDB, in the old system when I changed the tonemap type to Tonemapped the VDBs would become visible in the zdepth pass. I can't seem to find a similar option in this pre-release.

Thanks!
