Looks like I broke it when I added Render Room rendering. Will fix ASAP.

Hi Sighman, Thanks for that. I almost feel embarrassed to ask as you have done so much on this.

Hi, I just picked up a new computer with a GTX 1070. I was reading in another forum that Octane 3.03 now supports the Pascal architecture (GTX 1070/1080) and suggesting that all plugin versions that are 3.03 or higher will also support this. Currently I'm on version2.x and before I buy the upgrades for both standalone and the Carrara plugin, just want to make sure that this will allow Octane4Carrara to work with my GTX 1070 (currently in version 2.x it 'sees' that the 1070 is there, but does not allow me to check the box to use it as my device to render with).

Phil,
Thank you for the render comparison on bump v. normal. Very interesting and helpful! Sometimes, the detailed output we have available now is overwhelming.
I have attached a much less subtle exercise: Carrara native render v. Octane with Victoria 4. It still has a way to go, I know, but am feeling encouraged. I assume that because
I am using Direct lighting instead of Path or PMC, my SSS is lacking (ears are too opaque, for example). There is no SSS with Direct lighting, correct? Kind of need the speed of Direct.

Just wanted to follow up to report that the latest version of 3.x works fine with the Pascal architecture and I am now up and rendering (fast!) with the Nvidia 1070. :)

Yes, direct lighting will mean you have no SSS. You may find the Color Correction facility in the Octane material functions useful if you want to adjust the skin tone to match the other render more closely, just shift the hue a bit.

Thanks, Phil. I think I better try to get SSS going. Your work shows how worthwhile it is. Love the light through the ears.
