No it is quite right, i have this issue too. I have to approach lighting in octane as if I were a photographer, hiding the lights better from mirrors etc. It can be a pain.. I hope Otoy sort this out.

To funk
thank you for investigating.

My explanation was insufficient.
You can solve the problem displayed by adding "Create Octane Emitter" to the area light.

Right. You can make your own emitters manually, if you know your light is behind some glass (this still won't match modo reflections/refractions though).

We just have no way to do this automatically

Thank you for your answer.
In this case you should do it manually.

I did not read the discussion, but in 3.05.3 the network render node always stops rendering after some minutes on super high res renderings like 11800 x 6800 Pixel.

Is this fixed in a newer version?

I'm not sure, sorry - you will need to put this question to Otoy in the Octane Standalone release thread, or try for yourself.

Okay, wilco.

Hello,

İs there any news on substance support? Are we waiting foundry to update substance plugin?
Also octane beta version of octane (3.06 Test3) has adaptive sampling option. Do we able to use it with modo plugin?

Also is there a way to globally set rounding edges value for meshes with multiple materials?

Thanks.

İs there any news on substance support? Are we waiting foundry to update substance plugin?

Yes, it's all done - and full support will be in the next release of the Substance plugin for Modo. I will put together a video demonstrating this in the next few days.

Yes, the latest 3.6.3.117 test build above includes AS. See the 3.6.3.117 video at viewtopic.php?f=34&t=59793 for details.

Also is there a way to globally set rounding edges value for meshes with multiple materials?

No - round edges need to be set at the material level.

No - round edges need to be set at the material level.

Round edges are not working in Octane. And this is a big problem! I am rendering CAD files all the day, but it is often not possible to build round edges on object level.
