OctaneRender™ 2020.2 RC3

By the way, it took a while to figure out why the composite texture wasnt working, because I didnt realise there was a log error.

I think you should be forcing a log window to open when there is a log error. It would save users a lot of time/confusion.

Thanks Funk. Great feedback as always

So I have looked into this and found that this is caused by some backwards compatibility with how the Octane BRDF has to work while there is only diffuse and specular reflection, and this is not really fixable as it would affect the things we are trying to be backwards compatible with work (this would impact the consistency between glossy material with Octane BRDF and universal material with diffuse and specular reflection with Octane BRDF).

Would it work for you if you use other BRDF models instead? This restriction is only posed upon the default Octane BRDF.

If I crank transmission to 1 and use Beckmann I can still see a difference between the materials when playing with roughness. GGX seems to be the only one working so I can use that.

BUG: Composite texture generated invalid OSL code

It seems like the previous post is very simple to reproduce.

1. Load the attached OCS
2. Open a windows > create log window and dock it.
3. Right click the diffuse material > render

The following log error occurs:

Code: Select all

<nodes>:18: error: Cannot write to input parameter 'Layer_2_input1' (op 4)

We generated invalid OSL code
<nodes>:18: error: Cannot write to input parameter 'Layer_2_input1' (op 4)

Failed to compile OSL shader.

Thanks Funk, this will be fixed in the next build.

Will this version work as a slave to a Octane X PR 2/3 or 4Mac? I understand (I think) that requires the Windows version to be upgraded to v10 of the SDK so they match, but it’s unclear what release that is planned for. I just upgraded to enterprise, so excited to put my old gaming PC’s Nvidia card to work.

The post layer in the output exr multi-channel is lost, from XB4 to RC3。

When I use the white balance picker on the viewport , Octane is crashing even with a empty scene.
Ps. Windows version RC3

Thanks

I have the EXACT same problem. White balance picker crashes Octane Standalone.

This should not happen on Beckmann, I would expect it to behave more or less similar to GGX, I will look into it.

Thanks.

Hi,
not yet, this version is still available for CUDA only.
We still need another OctaneX Mac for Network rendering in Catalina or Big Sur, for now.
