Hello,

I use octane for Rhino, but I think this might be a better place for my issue to post...

I often experience nasty halo effects around rendered elements (such as trees) which are due to the fact that I use a certain multiplier for my hdri map to archive nice lightning conditions, which result in an overexposed sky.
When composting the rendering in PS with a normal exposed, darker sky, my trees are have a white bluish border, because they are antialiased against the overexposed background.

coming from vray,I remember we had there 3 additional environment multipliers, besides the illumination one :

1. Environment Illumination
2. Environment background
3. Environment reflection
4. Environment refraction

while this might not be 100% physically correct, it was a good thing to solve these everyday problems, especially the background multiplier.

thanks for your feedback

A way to manually enter the dimensions of the live viewer would be great, and also an option to lock the aspect ratio when you resize!

Hi!

Procedural brick texture. (Like in cycles in blender) I think many peoples who work with architecture needs this one.

Yes , that would be very powerful, when it could provide random effects to bitmaps which are assigned to the "bricks" . this way you could several things to get rid of the old tiling problems (after a certain amount of repetitions, you notice the pattern of the textures in a rendering...very unpleasant).
Brick textures could toned down randomly to create an overlapping non tiling pattern which would "break" the tiling effect.

Another cool feature would be that the user could specify a number of textures together with a certain prozentual amount, e.g. Texture A / [path...] / 50%, Texture B / [path...] / 35%, Texture C / [path...] / 15% and the shader would randomly create a distribution according to the specified numbers...

I would gladly pay for such a feature !

Render Layers are already available in the current 2.x version.

They are working not at all
1. global light illuminate only the 1st layer (if we work with blender layers (with octan layers all is working))
2. layers do not influence on each other. For example i will have problems with rendering my houses and god rays (volumetrics) on different layers.

How do you render multiple layers with one render?
Not possible, right?

RobSteady, it fixed in OctaneRender™ for Blender 2.23.2 - 9.2 Win. Now we can render several BLENDER (not octane) layers at the same time.
