OctaneRender™ Standalone 1.35

Any chance that the next version will give support to running the maxwell gpu's

Just bought a 750ti , primarily to run my new 27" dell Monitor, it might be handy to get the 750ti to do some rendering as well...might as well put it to work.

as soon as it can i'll do some performance tests on it

We just received 3 750Tis on Friday so I couldn't say anything specific, but I tried to use the Kepler binaries on the Maxwells and it didn't work. -> There needs some work to be done, before we can make a release with Maxwell support, and it won't be in the next release, but I hope to have something working in the next 2 weeks or so.

Thanks for the update Marcus , Waiting with interest to see how the 750ti performs.

These latest versions sometimes crash when refreshing geometry that has changes in the material list...

There is a lack of bit-depth in the falloff node combined with a gradient node . when you use a gradient to increase the contrast you can see a noticeable banding. This happens on all versions of octane.

It will also happen in all versions of Photoshop. Just paint a linear gradient from light to dark grey. This effect is called the Mach band effect.

You may see less of this effect if you enable or disable the smoothing setting on the gradient node.

Are you talking about refreshing an Alembic file? What kind of changes are being made?

Hello Roeland

I think this is another problem really and not an effect on the computer screen, check this screenshot of a plain diffuse with a gradient and falloff node.

OK, that looks quite bad. We will fix it in the next release.
