Hi!

Where is ISO and f-stop in Octane Imager? In the previous version (2.16) had ISO and F-stop but in the new version (2.23.2 - 7.6) is gone.

Hi,
the ISO and F-stop parameters were removed in the Standalone some versions ago due to the fact that they were the exact same thing than the exposure itself, only with different scale.
ISO has no effect on the grain in the render and the old F-stop does not affect the DOF, so they bring confusion.
Now, in the Image Camera node you find only the exposure parameter and the F-stop is moved in the thin-lens camera node to correctly control the DOF ;)

Thanks bepeg4d!

But ISO and F-stop is so helpful to control the light in the scene and how much light enter in the camera.

You can do this with the exposure. There is no advantage in having 3 parameters instead of 1 if all of them do exactly the same.
