OTOY Forums

Hi there,

I cannot get the shadows or other passes rendered in the picture viewer. It works in the live viewer of Octane and when saving from the live viewer, but not when rendering it to the picture viewer. I went through the settings a hundred times and tried all options, the shadows are shown perfectly in the live viewer, but just a white image is shown when saving it to the picture viewer. All set to linear. Watched the turorial on Multi Passes etc.

The problem starts already with the render layer not shown correctly, the object is set to render layer 1, the plane for shadows is set to render layer 2 in the object tag. In the live viewer it shows the object to be rendered without the plane (alpha shadows and alpha channel are active) and when rendered to the picture viewer the plane AND the object are shown.

I am working with Octane 3 newest version in cinema4d newest version r17:

Any help were great.

Thanks

Don't use "Send all data". And check saved images, be sure alpha enabled for saved images.

Thanks, I will try, because I have checked "send all data".............

Then you may try to fix title

It works now...........!!!!

Great.

The reason why I checked "send all data" were problems with the scene file when compositing with a camera tracking and the camera motion was not updated when rendering a sequence. I have to check this problem again and see whether it is still present.

Thanks

I'm thinking to deprecate this option. It comes from early days of plugin and doesn't support some features. If you read manual about that you'll see difference. Btw please post a sample scene about camera update problem. Let's check and fix. No need to post all content of scene. Just a few stuff with camera.
