OctaneRender® 2022.1 XB 1

[GXGsynth]

it seems that something broke re: VDB color data between 2021.1.5 and 2022 XB 1, here's the same scene created in v2021 and opened in v2022:




it also seems to have forgotten to use the Scattering channel in v2022 but switching that back to scattering doesn't change anything visually

also, is it necessary to load two copies of a VDB file just to use grids from one as texture data for itself?

Those settings should result in the exported image being identical to what you see in the render viewport, except in two cases(1)(2).

excellent, thank you for the clear response.

I've sent you a PM. Can you send me a link to this scene please?

Nested dialectics doesn't seem to be working with diffuse materials, tested in octane 2021 and it seems to be working fine there.

Can you please PM me a scene that works in 2021 but fails in 2022?

Is there a cinema 4d Plugin aviable for 2022.1 XB 1 MAC?

Maybe with XB2

Variable caustics* problem on glossy, mix... material with bit or little roughness - watch https://youtu.be/hecPdm7ZaLI

But... NOTE: if the roughness is zero or disabled, unfortunately it can't increase any "caustic blur" but we want soooo PMC method for photon tracing kernel for solve strong noises problem for indirect lights reflected+refracted.

* - it means lights reflected+refracted blurred

would it be possible to display the Vectron code under the hood for the new Vectron primitive objects? I've been trying to wrap my head around coding primitives from the Shadertoy Primitives example script that's included but trying to pull out bits of code isn't the most intuitive.

Has anyone else noticed inconsistent behavior with the new photon kernel? I can snapshot the default settings, change them, go back to defaults, and even after reloading the intensity and distribution are different from the first render.
