OctaneRender™ 2020.1.3 for Blender® 2.83 - new free tier!

I think you can't use preview and final render at same time. It's not a bug.

I'm new to blender, moving from Maya, anyone knows how to solve this issue?

Hi, what is your issue? Can you describe what is going on?

[Braca]

HEy J.C I thought it is obvious from the image attached. The problem is that the Boolean output with the noise displaced sphere gives out a clean cut like there is no displace node there. But in Live view it is working perfectly.

Are you using Modifiers? If so please check if modifier is marked for rendering – camera icon next to modifier's name.

Hey J.C thanks for reply, I actually figured it out, it is the modifier stack as you mention, needs to be enabled for rendering. Thanks!

Today i almost became crazy to try to make the denoiser work.
Then i discovered that if you use the denoiser beauty pass as preview, it doesnt work in regular render.
So if i want render i need to change the preview to combined pass and switch the viewport view to solid or wireframe... then i can press f12.
Is there any workaround to have the denoised preview and the denoised render? And maybe to change viewport mode automatically when i press f12?

by the way i'm a beginner, but octane looks really good.

There's an issue that needs to be solved which actually isn't allowing the Denoiser Beauty pass to work properly when the Denoiser Beauty pass itself is used as Preview Pass.
It will be fixed soon.

Thanks!

Hello,

Where I can find Vectron scripts? There isn't any that come with octane for blender in this free tier.

Thank you!
