Maya® Version Requirements

Notes regarding features/functionality
OctaneRender™ for Maya® implements almost full functionality of OctaneRender™ standalone inside Maya®.
COMPATIBILITY AND OCTANERENDER STANDALONE REQUIREMENT
To run OctaneRender™ for Maya®, you need to also have an activated OctaneRender™ Standalone copy activated on the machine you wish to install the plugin onto.
You cannot purchase and use only the Maya plugin and use it without also owning an activated copy of OctaneRender™ Standalone on your machine.
HOW TO PURCHASE LICENSES
Go to our online shop here: http://render.otoy.com/shop/
If you do not own an OctaneRender™ Standalone Edition License yet:
You can purchase both the OctaneRender™ Standalone Edition and the OctaneRender™ for Maya® Edition as a reduced price bundle, purchase the bundle priced at 359€
If you already own one or more OctaneRender™ Standalone Edition licenses you want to pair the plugin with:
Purchase an "OctaneRender™ for Maya® Beta License" priced at 199€
You can also purchase a 3, 5 or 10 pack of OctaneRender™ for Maya® licenses, just like OctaneRender™ Standalone Edition packs.
OCTANELIVE
Just like OctaneRender™ Standalone, the Maya® plugin product also needs an additional OctaneLive license and be activated on a machine.
This has to be done in the plugin interface panel in Maya, and is covered in the included PDF manual.
It can only be done after an OctaneRender™ Standalone license is already activated on the machine in question.
CHANGES AND FIXES SINCE LAST RELEASE:
- Added "Reshapable proxy" type to shapes. Now the "Movable proxies" animation mode can be tuned to be even faster: if you don't change the shape from frame to frame (only its transforms) - the mesh will not be recompiled every frame if it has "Movable proxy" type. It will only be recompiled in every frame if it has "Reshapable proxy" type. So, if you have some not changable mesh shape which just scales-rotates-transforms in animation - set it as "Movable proxy". If this mesh changes its shape from frame to frame - set it as "Reshapable proxy".
- Instancer now works in "Movable proxies" animation mode too (its shapes should be of type "Movable proxy" or "Reshapable proxy" in this case).
- Some speed optimizations...
- Minor bug fixes...
