Hi all :
here's my first exterior test..but i think it's not real for Octane .

please give some suggestions , thanks



Regards Brad

Was that done in direct lighting?

If so, try in Path tracing.

Path trace is not needed always ( far from )
I would try adress the saturation and the shaders first, Increase the AO size.
Should be nice.

pathtracing will give you a more realistic look and you'll be able to see inside the building...

Radiance

Thanks to all ,
ummm...... actually it done by path tracing not in direct lighting ,and the glass shader setting in plan is the the main problem (reflection.etc.)

i turn the opacity to 0 the system will freeze for a while .. is it a bug ? i am using 2.3 v5 ,and driver version is 258.96


Regards

I reported a bug leading to complete freeze an GPY remaining at 100% even after quitting Octane, and requiring complete reboot, but it happens when Changing the opacity texture, and also setting up the opacity gamma to high value, but have also read that there is bug report about low opacity value. You may have encountered it.

I'm getting the same freeze when setting opacity to 0%. I'm doing this for planes used as blackbody emitters so they won't be seen yet provide a lightsource and ewverthing hangs up. Ctrl-Alt-Delete to bring up the task manager shows Octane as 'not responding' and if you end it from the manager, it seems to have closed but still shows up in the process window of the task manager! Octane is shown to be holding on to a large amount of 'private memory' and cannot be ended or killed from the process window and requires a reboot. Can't something be done about this as it is a huge waste of time?
