OctaneRender™ 2.2 for LightWave™ BETA 1

[juanjgon]

Hi !
I have a weird problem with a scene : it's a simple studio product shot lit only by a HDR image, pathtracing kernel. There's the product object, the curved ground (L-shape) and no lights.
Sometimes when I fire up IPR, all reflections and colors seem off, kinda dull. It seems that somehow the HDR image isn't included in the render. I have to hit several times the reload scene button (from 2 to 8/10 times) for the image to render properly again.
Any idea ?
Thx !

It is really a weird problem ... what version of LW and Octane are you using?

If you can send to me the scene I could test it here. You can send it to me to [email protected]

LW 2015.1 and Octane plugin 2.20.1
I've just been able to make screenshots of the problem. I loaded the scene, opened/closed the IPR a few times (about 6 or 7), the result was ok :



When I opened IPR the next time, here's what I got :



I will try to send you the scene later.

I am testing your scene here and I can't reproduce this issue. It is really weird ... if you disable the network rendering do you have the same problem?

Anyway I am going to release a new beta really soon, perhaps it is a Octane problem fixed in the last release.

I have had that a few times. Going all the way back to the first release of Octane for LW. It's almost always with the reflections on transparent surfaces. To fix it I start an F9 render and abort. Next time I open IPR it's good again. It's like IPR gets something stuck in memory but F9 brute forces a refresh.

Oh boy ! I can't wait to test the new build with light passes !
