Default startup

[dinosgr]

Hi, the default template is back to how it was, but the previous one on beta .4 was better,,,
and it was on release notes on .4

here is the release notes

Updated to Octane 2026.2
Added Metalness AOV
Marking deforming meshes as “Reshapable” is no longer necessary, as deformation is now handled automatically, though users can still enable it if they prefer.
Meshlet: include blend filename and mesh data name in meshlet ID. Prevent conflicts when duplicating meshes.
Updated startup scenes
Implemented cached Octane resource nodes during animation rendering
Added Octane resource cache support for animation rendering



Thanks

What's better for us can be worse for others.
The best solution in this case would be to save your own preset files. Just replace the relative scene files in the Blender config folder.

I did it anyway, trook startup from previous release.
But wonder why going forth and back....

Thanks
