Awesome thanks a lot. This fixed the jaggy edges in the demo scene but i still get the jaggy in the multipass render of my new animation that I'm currently working on for a client do you know how to fix it ? i checked the camera tag settings and that fixed the demo scene problem from last time the only thing is in my multi passes of the animation, I currently work on have very jaggy edges that's the only thing i need to get fixed please btw should i stay at version 3.05.3 or should i better download an older version ? I'm new to the octane renderer and saw a lot of people still using octane v 3.02 I don't know if it's better to downgrade or stay at my current version ?

Please send me that small part of your objects with current settings. I don't believe there is any bug for that. Propably you're missing somethings for correct usage. You have to check results on compositing software not in Picture Viewer. Picture viewer is not capable to show the alpha applied results of octane.
Btw 3.05.3 is highly stable and best build and 3.06 is approaching to stable.

ok thank you very much. I did now an example project very quickly because i can't share the clients project that I'm working on that's why i made a very simple project with cubes. When I render the scene i get the edges in my passes for example in my z-depth pass and reflection pass, i imported the footage inside after effects and I'm still seeing the jugy edges
Thanks a lot again for your help I really appreciate it

No problem. See attached image. I tried to explain wrong usage. Can you render out well after this?

Please check my this video

Whole thing is not so hard. Only thing you need to don't change default settings and save as 16/32 bit linear exr/tiff/psd. Pass tonemap type=linear.

I can't wrap my head around this, always getting fringes in AE ... 3.06.2 ...
To get a proper Alpha I have to use the following settings:
Cam Imager
- uncheck "pre-multiplied alpha"
- uncheck "disable partial alpha"
Kernel settings
- check "Alpha channel"
- uncheck "keep environment"
Render passes
- check "Save beauty" as p.e. PNG 16bit
- Image color profile "Linear"
- Tonemap type "Linear"
Is this correct?
And if so, how do I use the Z-depth pass then? For it to work Tonemap Type has to be set to "Tonemapped" - correct?
