it looks like visibility is not working properly. When set to 0 glowing objects still emit light and can be seen in reflections

Hi Paride,
it's not the same. We have this lightnings hidden by setting visibility to 0 and then we animate them to 1 so they will appear. If we uncheck this option then when lightnings appear we will see no light in reflections. \
Then only option for now is to uncheck renderable> render so many frame> recheck renderable>continue rendering.

There is a bug with octane. There should be no light when visibility is set to 0.

Also when alpha shadows are OFF and visibility is set to 0 mesh still casts shadows. Why cannot otoy make 0 visibility same as nonrenderable?

Hi coilbook,
would you lighting not visible, not reflection but emitting or not emitting?

Hi Paride,
would be nice if visibility is set to 0 glowing mesh would just disappear and won't be visible in any reflections, etc. basically become nonrenderable. But right now when visibility is set to 0 mesh even casts shadows with alpha shadows set to 0

Hi coilbook,
try using a mixmaterial with two emitters animating the amount.

Thanks, but it won't work with multi-subobject. Could you tell otoy to look into it?

Hi coilbook,
it does'n depends on 3dsMax Octane developers, this feature is not in SDK.

You guys said before Update anim geometry should be uncheck for faster eval and only movable proxies will be updated. Well they are not updated and are stationary.

Object properties such as visibility and cast shadows don't work for particle flow objects.
