great build, working actually very stable on OSX Yosemite and GTX Titans. One thing we noticed in a render yesterday is that Coherent render produces flickering animations in some cases. It works amazing for stills and maybe exterior animations, but in interior area light scenarios the final rendered frames are flickering in an animation. When we render the frames without the coherent mode the animation and renders are fine and play without any flicker as usual.

I'm handling several issues with the final render settings.

1) The geometry often isn't complete. The scene is heavy and single object are mising if I use "Resend Only Updated Objects" (maybe full motion blur is on, too). (At the moment it's working...)

2) "Send All Scene Data" is not available when using "Full motion blur".

3) Rendering passes and selecting "Resend Only Updated Objects" renders the the first frame with the set Path Tracing render setting of "Octane Settings". After the rendering of the passes it switches to Direct Lighting at the second frame and continues with Direct Lighting. My workaround is to use the "Overwrite Kernel Settings" and set my Path Tracing render settings there.

But anyhow, Octane v2.11.1 is the first build that's able to render this scene now!!

I think it depends on your amount of final samples.
If you are rendering quick low sample animations it's flickering, rendering with high target samples it should be fine, or am I wrong?

1) Can you see these objects in LV? Some pictures would be nice to see. what kind of objects? Can you see them without moblur?

2) Yes it cannot support object motion blur, because all objects will be collected to a big single mesh. This structure have no indivual transform nodes for objects. This is our requirement to produce moblur.

3) Currently, i'm working on some improvements. I hope that would be ok here.

Could you make a more tweakable Background image, it would be usefull to have it interactive or if we could use c4d layers and shader (gradient....)

Thanks again for your amazing work !

Thanks for all your work Aoktar, loving Octanein C4D, just thought I would report three issues:

1) I can't load any kind of shader into the Displacement slot for any sort of material. Cinema hangs and then nothing happens. This is with new materials, old ones, everything! There is no crash so no bug report.

2) Not sure if it was Octane related but had a crash while adjusting materials so have attached the bug report for that.

3) Some weird things going on with the activation screen in the settings! Seems to work but I had to push 'deactivate' to make it activate?

All on OS X 10.9.5, Mac Pro, GTX Titan, CUDA 6.0.46, R14, plugin version 2.11.1 - RC1

Thanks!
Lindsay

I can't call it as a BUG or LIMITATION. This is a different algoritms as i know. And does some concentration on some noisy/dark areas. And Abstrax said that you should set maxsamples 500 or more.
