I have recently upgraded to octane 3 and reflections in my character's eyes look like this now, whats the problem here?
I'm using liquid 20C mat from Live DB with 1.334 IOR, as a cornea, and eyesurface.

I a not sure what problem you are referring to. If the reflections are too bright, reduce the Specular slider.

No the reflections are not right, they look like artefacts... dont you see it? if i zoom out her whole eyes are covered with this
weird glow... Reflections are set to what they are in the specular map... so usually they are barely visible and very toned down.

Besides at the beginning of rendering eyes look normal, it only starts appearing as the render progresses... Its not a reflection.
I've been using octane since 2015 i know what a reflection looks like :), theres nothing this bright and this color to reflect in the
eyes...

Ok i figured out what was causing that, looks like octane 2 was requiring me to use higher daylight environment lighting power
i had it on 15 and it worked in octane 2, and in octane 3 i dont need to have it this high, it just works when i have it at 2 or 1, and it
removes the problem... Hope it helps if anyone has the same problem...

Thanks :)
