[Kanne]

I'am really glad we now have access to the enhanced color correction nodes.
Thank you for the update.

Kind regards.

I am having an issue where my scene renders for one second and then restarts again. The scene was working fine at first but when I tried to render it again later this problem began. I didnt really change anything in the scene besides repositioning a light...

Edit: So I deleted my settings files and the issues seems to be fixed. I am not sure if this is related but now I cannot seem to zoom in on the octane viewport. I can drag the image around but zooming doesnt work anymore.

Edit 2: After uninstalling the plugin and deleting the settings.oczdb again I updated Windows and reinstalled the plugin. This has fixed the zooming issue for me.

Hi,

Enabling the render layers crash DAZ studio.

DAZ Studio 4.12.1.86
DAZ Studio 4.15.1.13

64GB RAM
RTX 3090

Correction - Adding Deep render passes on even basic scene would crash DAZ

Thank you BK and Otoy Team for the update.

It feels faster when rendering. Btw. I thought 2020.2 was supposed to have RTX On by default. For me it was off after starting Daz Studio. I turned it on manually.

I do like the new color correction node. It does help a lot. I use it everywhere and now I have more and better control over the output. Thank you.

I also see some changes in the Imager Settings. Will explore.

Will feedback after rendering couple of my existing scenes with it.

Best regards,
Rajib

Update :
I can confirm the Daz Studio does exit when closed. Just that it takes around a minute or so. During that time I can see the memory decreasing bit by bit and the CPU utilization of around 3.x% on my PC.

Also looks like a bug with the Specular layer which was creating a reflection / highlight on the side facing the camera if the light was on the other side of the character is now gone. Thank you for that. I will try and post an example of before and after for this.

Got a crash while clicking the Gain + in the Color Correction Node fast (multiple times) while the render was still going on. One other thing the Gain slide jumps the value by a lot even with a very slight move. Please fix that.

Anyone else playing with the network rendering?

Network rendering in Octane for Daz Studio

Right after the render finished i noticed it dropped the connection to the node.

Is it possible to install the plugin on the DAZ Studio beta build ?

I used to have it on both the current and the beta builds and I don't see a way to change the installation target anymore.

Choosing a target installation of Daz3d would be nice. At least for me, it was targeting the 4.15.13 public build beta instead of my 4.15.02 install. Both are installed using DIM from Daz3d.
