Octane/LW questions and comments

Will there be a Shadows render pass also?

Quick question:

I have read the answer somewhere but couldn´t find it.
I have now 2 x GTX780 3Gb cards. They work well but I got problems with a big scene and 5k resolution. 3Gb memory was too low and I had to cut the scene in two portions to render it.
I would like to add one more card with more memory.

Is this setup possible?
1 x GTX780 6Gb
2 x GTX780 3Gb?
Will I get the benefit from the 6Gb card memorywise?

Thanks,

Nope, if you mix 3 and 6 GB GPUs rendering the same scene, the memory available is going to be only 3 GB. You need to render only with the 6 GB GPUs to have all the memory of the new GPUs available for Octane.

Hi,

Hi should I do a luminous computer screen?
In Lightwave I would just add some luminosity to the texture...

Now I have a workaround by adding two Octane lights (one pointing to the screen and one pointing away from it) but it adds a lot to rendering time plus the luminosity is not constant all over the screen.

Why don't you use the texture emission node?
