On Phototracing kernel my default Ray Epsilon is set to 0.1. I have no presets with this kernel whatsoever.y81r wrote:That did the trick, thank you!aoktar wrote:check coherent_ratio in kernely81r wrote:this behavior is only since RC1, not sure why!?
Win10
r26.107
Studio Driver 517.40
why is this set by default to 1?
I cannot see the behavior as you say. And I don't remember any revisions to cause this. Can you show something for this?Kalua wrote:I noticed something while playing with engine settings:
Follow these steps
1. Playing with Photon Tracing kernel and make adjustments
2. Change to a saved preset of Pathtracing
3. Latter I go back to Photo Tracing: surprise, settings are back to default
Don't remember seeing previous versions behaving like this.
So far it feels nice to render with this version.
PS: Are the presets replacing all kernels per state?
So yep... I suppose this is how Presets behave now. I mean it's not like it's a terrible thing... I just pointed because it looked different from earlier versions.aoktar wrote:I cannot see the behavior as you say. And I don't remember any revisions to cause this.

It's not forever just doesn't do it. It's a bug present when a material is not assigned to some objects. I notified it recently and fixed for next build.Kalua wrote:There is another thing I began noticing lately:
A couple of days ago I updated from 2021.1.6 R4 to 2021.1.6 R5 and now 2022.1 XB1.
On both versions I see the material previews take forever to update, If ever...
I Attach an example .gif from a saved scene on 2021.1.6 R4 - which caused no problem in this regard at all.
PS1.:I am rolling back to 2021.1.6 R4 for now.
PS2.: Newly created materials doesn't present this problem.

I'm not seeing any issues here. Are you keeping the Octane settings as default. Especially for others section. Also I only see a parameter change and scatter in the video. Post your scene please then I'll try.SSmolak wrote:Please see how Octane has problems with LV updates :
It even has problem with simple updates of turning on/off light or objects. This is all related to active Scatter object. When Scatter is disabled it works fine.
Also most of the time undo view shortcut ( control + shift + z ) doesn't work as expected in LV window. It undoing view but not to the last position but previous ones. It works fine using C4D perspective view.
