difference between live viewer and C4d picture viewer

Hello bonjour
I'm using C4D R 16.050 and Octane 2.25 R3
I'm trying to have a nice glass reflection, like a shop window.
In my octane live viewer, I have exactly what I want :

- the octane Live viewer picture
But when I try and render it, I have another result I don't like :

- The C4D picture viewer render
I have the model, then a cube with 0.01 in Z and the "clear glass" material of the openlive DB, then the cam.
How can I render exactly what I have in the live viewer ???
Thank you

Sorry : I forgot to say that I'm using the default direct lightning settings.

You should exactly get same results if you use latest versions. And keep render settings as default. Don't play with render methods without knowing what does it.

Ok, thank you for your answer.
And I'm using the default render settings, I don't "play" with settings

Thanks for your fast reply.
As You told me to, I'm trying now to install the V3. But I have a licence problem. But I will read all about it before asking for help

This what i get on LV with 2.25. How could you render out as like that? Also i see you have activated kernel overwrite in render settings.

Yes, I activated kernel overwrite because I want to use more samples (256)

Ok but be sure other parameters same while you compare LV against PV. I still can't get how did you get this look on LV. It doesn't same on this scene. Also rayepsilon need a bit bigger here. Check it without dof effect you'll see
