Octane for 3dsmax

The Post-Processing provides lens effects to help mimic a real camera. Shown below are the Post-Processing parameters under the Render Setup window, but similar settings are found under the Modify Panel of Octane Camera and Universal Camera.

Post-Processing Parameters

Enable - Enable post-processing effects. Post-processing is disabled by default.

Figure 2: No post-processing 

Cutoff - Set the threshold for the effect. 

Bloom Power - Controls the size of the emitter's glow and the size of the sun's or concentrated light's halo on reflective Glossy materials.

Figure 3: Bloom Power 

Glare Power - Controls the size of the emitter's visible rays and the glare from reflective Glossy materials.

Figure 4: Glow and Glare Power 

Glare Rays - Controls the number of radiated or reflected visible rays.

Glare Angle - Adjusts the glare direction relative to the Object.

Glare Blur - Controls the glare's sharpness. Smaller values result in a crisp linear glare, and larger values with result in a softer glare.

Chromatic Aberration - Controls the intensity of the color fringingon the edges of objects. 

Volume Effects - Allows for a Post Volume Effects node to be added. See the Post Processing Effects article for more details. 

Spread Start/End - The minimum and maximum blur radius as a proportion of the image width and height (whichever is larger). 

Spectral Shift - Adjusts the spectrum displacement as the source's emitted light frequency changes. The shift is evident by a color change, similar to the doppler effect.

Spectral Intensity - Adjusts the intensity distribution of the rays across a source, affecting the radiant energy's brightness.

Spectral Shift - Adjusts the spectrum's displacement as the soure's emitted light frequency changes. The shift is evident by a color change, similar to the Doppler effect, as the distance traveled by the ray from its source increases or decreases.

Lens Flare - Determines the intensity of the lens flare.

Lens Flare Extent - Controls the overall length and distance between the lens flare highlights.
