Hi there,

I had this issue the other day where a cryptomatte we rendered out was changing colors midway through the render. Give the EXRs in this file a look:

What causes that change around frame 40? (I mentioned in another post the gamma of a rendering changing mid render). If the colors change the cryptomatte becomes kinda useless. Similarly to my other post this would have been a single project with a single set of settings placed in the render queue. The render may have crashed a few times and had to be restarted. But we always would have just restarted the render via the Cinema 4D render queue without changing any settings. We are net-rendering between multiple machines so it's possible something's related to that? Running octane via Cinema 4d on Windows. This would have been with octane 2021.1.5.

Let me know your thoughts.

Hi Ryan,
please make sure to use Cryptomatte MaterialNodeName, instead of simple MaterialNode, or the assignment will change every time you open the scene, or you add a new material.

ciao,
