I have not had success deleting saved buffer. Two thing of interest- If file is an object with alpha background- on the machines where the Store Buffer works- the alpha is Black. On machine where the Store Buffer does not work with Beauty pass- the Noise pass -does- work- so maybe something with the Z or layering and/or alpha is getting disrupted.

Really don't like this new visual style for the Node Editor. Buttons are harder to click and it's just laggy overall. Hope we can go back to the old one as this doesn't add anything useful whatsoever.

Very strange because it's not just a new style, it's also new drawing library with high quality of floating math. It will give more opportunities to improve the interface without relying the maxon functions. So it adds more than you can imagine. Just compare the zooming between old/new style.
Your CPU should be very slow it's laggy or hard to click. It's very fluent and easy to work on my side. Btw you can switch to old from node dialog menu or settings/nodes.

Hello,

I get a bug with nested cloners.
I know they are tricky to fix, but please take a look and let me know what is possible

Many thanks!

Don't know any tricks! It's not working for now and making a fix that's not easy. I'll try it later

OSL tilers are very great things to make small texture tiles not repeative but unfortunately seed and randomizing doesn't work in their code.
Only way is to make different rotation in transform nodes for individual images ( 0, 90, 180, 270 degree ) - but without randomizing them.

On the machines that were having this issue. OCIO > sRGB was the colorspace setting in LV. And these machines did not have OCIO configured to an ACES config file. By changing the LV colorspace to HDR> sRGB the Stored buffer works as expected. And with proper configuration of OCIO - OCIO> sRGB also works as expected.
Just on last question on this: Why does alpha backgrounds go to black in Stored Buffer image?

- You should set OCIO variable or path for every machines.
- It doesn't have a capability of displaying the alpha for some reason. Porting to the new graphic library(used for nodegraph) that can provide this feature.

Custom OSL directory never worked right ? It never shows in the OSL directory list.

I am having an issue with the Scatter object after upgrading from 2021.1.4-(R4) to 2021.1.5-(R4)

I have a .abc animation inside an Octane Scatter object but the render looks very different. Cinema 4D R26.0.14

I saw in the release notes "Fix: orientation problems with scatter object" What exactly was the fix and how can I fix this issue? Thank you!!!
