Yes, it definitely means Volume Caustics.

Thanks for the reply, nice scene - are you able to share an orbx please, or is that not possible ?

Right clicking the Nodegraph editor and pressing Space crashes Octane.

Thanks for the report

Nice! I can now load my exported files in this build without crashing Octane.

Will the realtime mode support multi gpu in the future?

I've noticed when I turn it on only one of my gpus is working. (I've also noticed this behaviour with the brigade benchmark)

Very good news and thank you for increase to 256-depth photon!
But... since 2022.1 XB1 (XB0?) has “the render began stucked” (= 1 sample per pixel) problem for new lightning icon unchecked by default in the bar.
My GPU usage (EVGA GeForce GTX 980 Ti SC+) is 99%-100% at photon tracing with lightning enabled. But is lightning enabled wrong = bug?

LASTEST EDIT: I forget... GeForce 511.65 driver, sorry.

New 2 problems ADDED:
- abnormal noises!?! - at photon tracing – my screenshot:

-> "Procedural Prism" ORBX download - https://render.otoy.com/downloads/d4/7c ... sm_01.orbx

--Try any NVIDIA Tuning (RTX 20-serie) or Ampere (RTX 30-serie) videocard - have you not same problem on this ORBX scene?

- wrong caustics (less visible) on mix material with “allow caustics” checked like chess material

But normal without "allow caustics" on mix material:

-> "Chess Procedural with glass material with photon tracing" ORBX download -

Hi nuno1980, are you saying that the render does not progress past 1 sample per pixel when real time mode (lightning button) is not enabled? I see that real time mode is enabled in all of your screenshots (and the renders have completed) so I assume that's the case. Does this happen with every scene?

roadmap:

"Metal and CUDA network render interoperability"

This is the #1 issue for us being able to continue using octane. Currently stuck on high sierra till this singular feature is developed.

just curious if theres any news on an ETA for this?

Yeah.

Lightning button enabled is the biased render, Brigade (Unreal Engine) and the low quality of the realism.

Lightning button disabled is the unbiased render and the high quality of the realism.

Are these phrases true?

But we don't find "lightning" button in the current manual online of Octane Render due to only version of "2021".

Attention to my post previous on Fri Apr 29, 2022 at 8:37am UTC.

Watch my video on youtube -> https://youtu.be/NGrlmfpc0iw :
- At lightning button disabled, I can't render any scene - rendering stucked
- At lightning button enabled, I can render any scene!! But AI denoiser does not work.
