Hey Guys !

First i wanted to thank you all for this awesome forum where i already learn a lot of things about Octane , i'm new to this render engine but i already play with it for 2 or 3 months so maybe my question is totally stupid but i really don't understand what i'm doing wrong , so like i say in the title when i render something in the live viewer it looks quite nice but when i make my render settings and launch my render it looks really really different but clearly in a bad way :lol:

Everything is blown up , I have maybe 1/10 of the particles (which i cached) i had in the live viewer sooo i try to tweak all the sttings but no success

Specifities

-Cinema 4D R15
-Octane Plug in version Stabile version 1.01 (SDK 1.20.3) but il already try the others one...no success
-GTX Titan

-Directlighting
-Speculardepth :5
-Glossydepth : 2
-AO Distribution : 3
-Rayepsiilon : 0.001
-Max samples : 650
-filtersize : 1.2
-rrprob : 0
-diffusedepth : 2

i don't know if you need more informations so i'm gonna pout also some screenshots !

Thanks in advance

Keep up The Good Work & Good Vibes to You !

hi, the first thing that comes to my mind is that you have not disabled the "render perfect" option for all the spheres in your scene, or some "render instance" option is blocking the correct exporting of all the meshes :roll:

hi,
i see a few problem. First plugin cannot give output for spheres which has option "render perfect". You can't see this speheres on picture viewer.
second, keep color profile of scene is linear. This matches the colors exactly same input and output of materials. Also try 8bit buffer.

But, if you're testing that give a try 1.20 version of plugin. Everything is much more better.
