OTOY Forums

Hi again JimStar, I have also noticed when I use the low priority for my gpu, the use of each GPU drop down to 50%, before it was about 90%, 50 % is far too low, can you fix this too, please ?

The "Elements Active" and "Display Elements" settings in the 3dsmax Render Elements dialog are still ignored, like in all versions.
Even if switched of the render elements are still rendered and shown when porting from octane viewport to max frame buffer.
The only possiblity to avoid this is to delete the elements completely from the list ... pretty annoying.

I think this is negligible; there are much more important things to do...

Octane is a sweet renderer but has a few major weak spots. We are finding that doing noise free renders in night scenes with small lights or even day scenes looking through glass is so noisy. Other renderers such as Corona and Redshift dont seem to have the same problems. Is there a way that Octane could optimise the way it handles small lights?

Thank you for the constant updates - I really do appreciate it.

I don't know what version I'm running, maybe 2.23.2 - 1.6 or something, but one issue I've noticed for a while is...
-First, When making a chrome material, my IOR or "index" is capped at "8". While if I zero out the spinner (leaving it at "1"), it gets more reflective - implying that there is more reflectivity to take advantage of if only the spinner went higher than 8. Looking at a chrome at 8 is chrome, but sometimes just isn't reflective enough. Can we get more next time?
-Second, and perhaps it's just my current version, but the location where version information is displayed in the 3dsmax Kernel tab for octane (with the image of the trees and says "OCTANE RENDER" doesn't have any version information. Can that be put back?

Thanks again, and I can't wait to see More updates!

No news from JimStar ?

+1 i hope they can do clean renders at night like CPU renderers do
