Cinema4D version 2022.1.1-R6 (Obsolete stable) 08.07.2023

Another issue using SDF created from Volume Builder :

It's happening on some setups when render AOVs are used. Work around is to disable the "show passes" parameter

If I disablethe "show passes" parameter, rendering can proceed, but the output image will not have Denoised beauty.

It's a new issue after C4D update on some CPU types. What's your CPU?

If it helps, I'd like to give you my CPU type too because I'm having the same issue (but no C4D crash for me): Intel 9900KS
Even trying with and without "Show Passes", in "EXR (Octane) or "EXR", trying compression other than DWAA/DWAB... I still haven't found the right combination to get all my passes and the denoised beauty.

I've detected the reason of issue and I know an exact solution. But it will cause a performance hit so I choose a secondary way to solve it. It's available in 2023.1 alpha2 build if you want to test it. I'll make a R6 with the fix if it works for all.

Good news, cool!
I know that I also had some issues (unsaved passes) when choosing DWAA/B compression and that it worked with other compression (maybe not related but if you want to check with this compression too).
I'll be happy to try this Octane version (and futur R6) but later as I'm working on some stills that I need to deliver soon. I'm still very very new to Octane, but since last night I've been able to get all my passes and the denoised beauty like this with the R5 (but it’s with “EXR” format and not “Octane (EXR)”). FYI.

Prefer Octane-EXR and disable "show passes" if you have issues

Hi Ahmet,
Scatter does not work as expected with a decay field in plain effector.
Is it possible to implement?
Scene and screenshot attached.

Thanks aoktar but with 'Octane(Exr)' and Show Passes OFF, I sometimes get the MID pass completely black (it's OK in the Live Viewer). I don't have this problem if I choose 'Octane'. (And also sometimes the first frame is not saved on certain passes).
Can I PM you this scene so you can test it and see if MID pass is not black on your side?

You can check the case with this old test build. It's not actual one but should have the fix for issues

Thanks aoktar. I tried this version and still the same behavior than R5_fixed (MID is ok in Live Viewer but rendered black).
