Hi all,

In C4D under Octane settings / Settings / Env. the default color does not get saved into the c4d file.
But every time we build a new machine or send it to a farm the scenes are rendered with the default grey dome completely changing our lighting.

So it's more a global setting you have to set on every machine once and it stays on even tho it's under the settings panel where we adjust and save our render samples etc.

This makes no sense it's cost us headache, production time and money to fix.
Can you guys please make this a save-able setting?
Thanks

Thanks for reporting this in to BUG section. It's a design choice rather than a BUG. You should always use a sky object with environment tag, using this parameter for your scene's environment is not correct way to go.
