OctaneRender® 2022.1 XB 3

Any hopes to get procedural layered fog and cloud system? You already have mesh too fog in place. Vray has cloud atmosphere and blender got layered fog.
Vray has a very nice easy to use cloud system. Would be nice to have the same.

Thanks.

Hi Karu,

Can you please add a checkbox next to AI light set all lights sampling rate to 1? That way if we have noise problem with manual sampling rate per light we can try ai light and default all lights in the scene sampling rate to 1 including light textures Thanks

This is not my area of expertise; maybe someone else can chime in on any plans in this area.

@coilbook unsure if this is helpful, but you can use this script to do that in the mean time.

Code: Select all

graph = octane.project.getSceneGraph()

texNodes = graph:findNodes(octane.NT_EMIS_TEXTURE, true)
blackBodyNodes = graph:findNodes(octane.NT_EMIS_BLACKBODY, true)

for k,v in pairs(texNodes) do
    v:setPinValue(octane.P_SAMPLING_RATE, 1.0, true)
end

for k,v in pairs(blackBodyNodes) do
    v:setPinValue(octane.P_SAMPLING_RATE, 1.0, true)
end

Hi,
I get this error

Is there also a Mac OSX Version supporting Intel/AMD – instead of M1 only – aviable soon?

As of Otoy is/was bundled with current MacPro/Intels there are loyal Pro Mac production powerhouses out there.

While using Photon Tracing shadows from thin objects are gone.

Try to decrease "Ray Epsilon" from default number.

The script posted earlier is not a MAX script, it's a Lua script for Octane standalone.

A simple "yes", "no", "not yet planned" would help (to decide loyal customers license extension and hardware invest route).
thank you.

Try lowering kernel > ray epsilon. If that's not the problem, please provide a simplified scene for us to look at.

[SSmolak]

Thank you ray epsilon was the problem. Default value is too high compared to other modes.

Thank you ray epsilon was the problem. Default value is too high compared to other modes.

Photon tracing uses the same ray epsilon default as all other kernels (0.0001)
