Here is my first render with Octane.
9600GT
Render time: 30 min
3215 samples

hmm are those white artefacts a glitch or bug? or has to do with settings ?
I see many ppl get them, can easily be cloned off for stills , but death for animations. =)

The fireflies are there for the simple fact that MLT hadn't been implemented prior to the current release ... they should be gone in the next version.

Like Cire said

Those are "fireflies" and they are here because there's no Metropolis Light Transport in Octane yet

You can use google to read more about Metropolis Light Transport but its kinda advanced thing
The math is simple, without MLT you get fireflies, with MTL you don't get fireflies

MLT doesn't eliminate the noise due to the samples but it help a lot

Hi,

I'm working on the MLT implementation.
The new release I just posted in the General Discussion forum does'nt have it yet,
as it's not finished yet, i've still a few days more work on it, i'm about halfway done with it.
It will be in the next official demo release, coming in a few days to a week.

Radiance

Yep, nice and indeed MLT will help in this one.

Thank god for fireflies.
For a minute I thought those were dead pixels on my monitor
