working fine here, when can we hope to see that MLT-like thing implemented ?

Hi,

Octane 2.4 still has unexpected crashes when I try to manipulate with node connection in graph editor

cheers

Michal

Could you please give some more information? Does it happen all the time or sporadically? Is it reproducable? Can you remember what you were doing when it crashed?

Thanks,
Marcus

Bug report:
In v2.4 the specular material's roughness parameter; floattexture default value has 4 digit as -> 0.0000
In 2.3_v5 the same parameter used to have 7 digit value 0.0000000
Explanation:
If you try create a specular material in 2.4 from start, the roughness floattexture jumps to 0.0001 as you edit the slider the material instantly get too much roughness. We cannot create a less roughned glass in 2.4

I created a test file in 2.3v5 and gave a less value in roughness like 0.0000078 and open the file in 2.4
The roughness value displays like 0.0000 but actually preserves the previous value in file.
Which is <value>7.8e-006</value>.

Thanks for the heads up. I have fixed the problem and it will become available with the next release.

Cheers,
Marcus

Marcus, will it be possible to set roughness with a floatimage with the fix? in 2.3 v5 using a floatimage causes the power to be limited to 3 decimal places so this fix may be needed both for using the floattexture slider and a floatimage map.

Thanks man! That gave us the actual hint, where the problem lies: The light is shadowing itself... That should be solvable.
Cheers,

I'm glad to help.

But hey Marcus,
Since I've posted my benchmark earlier. Besides the slight (not very much) performance gain.
Octane is now, nearly unresponsive while rendering. I use the max samples to a very low value to gain resposive UI.
It's hard to select a node and change parameters..

Although this is a bit annoying, would it my problems gone away if I happen to add another Card to my machine
but not activating in render. ( This version does not let us to use multi-GPU I know)
In order to gain UI resposivity what should I do besides lowering max samples..
Any clues regarding feature releases or current?

Hope it makes sense

I hope the 2.4 has the saving bug fixed.......http://www.refractivesoftware.com/forum ... =33&t=4656
also importing mesh (the last button in node inspector) does not keep material settings...hope this will be fixed too....
