OctaneRender™ Standalone v1.00 (obsolete)

Please add an invert checkbox in the deep channel kernel for the z-depth, to switch the output from black/white to white/black.
Also for the SDK

Thanks,

Is it only me, but does the material go black when inverting the normal map :/ ?

hi roeland the color in the wall is blue, my material is beige, why happen this ?
add image, this happen when i switch directlight to diffuse and change to pathtracing

Hi merid888,

Can you please post your obj+mtl? I think this might be a material assignment or geometry duplication issue.

Thanks
Chris.

obj+mtl ? i don't understand, upload images with values ? i export all again and is the same result
i'll capture all image and i'll upload

Hi merid888,

I would like you to attach the Sala02.obj file (and the accompanying Sala02.mtl if there is one) so that i can load these myself and take a look.
These will most likely be in the same place as the Sals02.ocs file (in E:\OctaneRender\Sala_002 ).

Thanks
Chris.

on your first picture of caustic_blur is not used

caustic_blur 0.0030
thanks for the info!
just people have raised the issue. how to do it .
but precisely the problem with units

this is a trick that I didn't know...
Reducing the caustic blur let pass the sun?....what's the relation?

@PeterCGS :

I have always noticed this behaviour in previous versions. As a Blender user, I use Tangent Normal maps created with Blender or more often with Crazy Bump.

When the Normal texture looks not much eficient, I invert it and notice that the material becomes black. When reducing the value around 0.3 or 0.4 the relief looks generally correct. Over 4.3 the material quickly becomes black.

I also noticed hat the effect is maximum for a gamma of 2.2. Tweaking the gamma to get the desired effect is not efficient. The best solution is to remake the Normal RGB texture giving it more strength in Blender or in Crazy Bump.

I hope this will help you.

Best regards,

Philippe.

The invert on texture nodes inverts the color (the same if you did invert color in photoshop) - you cant invert normal maps this way, only bumps!
