Cinema4D version 2020.2-R3 (Obsolete stable) 19.02.2021

I get a shadow pass in my renders when no shadow pass is selected...no matter what I do. It is also just black, and doesn't actually contain information.

Also, the node editor is unstable. So many crashes during any operation.

Anyone else share these problems?

Please give a solid information rather than asking experiences of others, thanks!

Hi,
Is there an option to remove this square from the middle of nodes? I find it inconvenient, as I am used to double click to remove a wire and this gets in the way very often.

See image below. Thanks

It's for quickly adding new nodes, double click to remove it's still here.

Hello,

R20 has a problem with store render buffer and renaming the stored images. See video below

eg. im pretty sure render region has issues, I couldnt reproduce now but already happened to me few times

Please give some details because it's not reproducible for every case. Need to know what causes that.

If "Use Octane for OGL Previews" in Settings is turned on changing color doesn't update in viewports. LV OGL Previews is turned ON.

ALSO - is there way to support C4D Layers Solo Mode by Octane ?

Could you please give more info because it's working well

Ok. I get a black shadow pass no matter how I setup my render. Any thoughts? I can actually set a shadow pass in multipasses, and still get the black shadow pass. "Pass [shadow] not found..." This always displays in the console at the end of a frame:

"copyRenderImageToVPBuffer pitch=30720 mType:2 id:23
pass [Shadow] not found...
Displaying passes in tm=175.802

I do not have "shadow" selected in Render Passes. I will get a black shadow image. Not even as a part of my exr, but a black extra frame called shadow for every frame.

Any help would be appreciated.

I will provide more info about render region if it happens again.

About store render buffer, it happens on all scenes. Just open live viewer and press store render buffer.
Also the images cannot be renamed. This happened in previous versions in 2020.1.4 that I was using.

Many thanks!

Hey,

R20 and sss materials issue. When i enable nested dielectrics from the kernel, the material changes a lot.

See images and scene below:

Ah ok didnt know it works like this, I was expecting it to work on top. Not important just mentioning what I see (and probably some stuff havent used in prev versions).
