Hello everybody!

I encountered with the problem in Octane. The problem is - how I can use EXR format? I mean the way of exporting scenes or images with applying Z-Depth, and different channels. I need it to use in Nuke.

Thanks in advance, guys!

When you mean packed exr.
Because you can only render one channel in a given time, you can also not pack different channels into one exr.

You can save only one channel to one exr.
Render with one kernel, save the exr, change the kernel to whatever, render and save the next exr.
To save as exr you must click on the save render to image file button on the top of the render panel, 3 icons left the lock button.

There is no shadow pass.
Read the manual and you will see the channels which are supported.
