Issue 5. Render Looks Strange or Gives Unexpected Results

Problem:

Concentric circles over the image or unusual effects including bump map not working.

Solution:

Check the scale of the imported scene and change the rayepsilon value. Typically this is due to the scale being incorrect by a factor of 100 or 1000X. Octane expects one unit in the scene to equal one meter. Adjust export settings in the modeling application or adjust the import settings in OctaneRenderâ„¢.

 

 

Problem:

Facetting occurs revealing the underlying polygonal mesh, Geometry, or Normals issues.

Solution:

Ensure that the geometry and normals are correct in the modeling program. Re-export the scene if necessary. Make sure the Normal Smoothing boolean value ("smooth") is enabled for each material in the Node Inspector.

 

 

Problem:

Bump map does not show up.

Solution:

When a bump map and normal map are both loaded, the normal map will take priority and the bump map will not be used.

 

 

Problem:

Images do not look right on the model.

Solution:

This may be due to the way the model was UV unwrapped. This may need to be redone more precisely in the 3D modeling application and re-exported.
