I use OCTANE4.X to make files
Then use the monthly version of OCTANE to render, it will become very bright, but the real-time render is correct
Then, in the monthly version, I use "Overwrite kernel settings" to adjust to the same setting value, and the render becomes correct again
But today the render suddenly became bright again, and the real-time render is correct
In octane4.x, the calculation graph and real-time render are the same, no problem
May I ask where is the problem with the monthly rental version?

Hi,
Octane 4 is quite an old version. It isn't recommended to work using widely spaced-out versioning, which will (likely) inevitably cause issues at several rendering levels.

"Very bright" is too ambiguous for anyone to exactly point out the source of the "issue".

As we can only guess, it could come from a color-management overlook.
This OctaneRender® “Color Management” page is a guideline and does include a Cinema 4D section. If not the above, perhaps Camera Imager exposure, or from the light sources, or picture viewer, or circling back to the versioning inter-incompatibility.
