[aoktar]

Hi people,
I'm glad to share last version 1.52.1 which is based on Octane Sdk 1.52. I recommend to all update from 1.50 to 1.52.1

As you can notify that we'll use new numbering system. Which is synced to Octane SDK. Updates will be as 1.50.1, 1.50.2, 1.50.3,.....
Incoming plugin versions for SDK 2.0 will be numbered as 2.00.1, 2.00.2, 2.00.3, ....

changes for 1.52.1
- Some fixes on geometry updater.
- Two different geometry updater method has been implemented, both has own advantages. Which is named as "Syncronization on geo. updates" and located under Settings/others section.
Default option is disable for that, so keep off this option. This allow faster feedback on viewport and makes the updates on background. If you has some weird geometry on render view, please set on this option.
- New safe area lines for Live Viewer Window.
- Color convertion is disable for Floatbuffer option of render settings. So we should expect correct linear color output with floatbuffer.
- User category of Livedb windows was been revised. As longer you can put and get own materials to user category or create and organise material directories.
- Octane 1.52 features, it has improved matte material behaviour for several conditions

New features since 1.20
- New Live Viewer functionality:
Live Viewer has now these:
1) Allow material drag and drop from material manager and LiveDB, so you can easily assing materials to movable(has Octane Objecttag) or static objects(without any objecttag)
2) Select materials, object, dof from liveviewer by clicking RMB on any object
3) Assigning a ObjectTag from LV, so this makes that selected object will be movable. This operation will cause restart on rendering.
4) Copy/paste materials throught LV via popup menu or Ctrl+LMB / Ctrl+RMB
- Compatibility for HDR Light Studio http://www.hdrlightstudio.com
- fix for stop/restart rendering buttons: Now gpu frequency can go down
- Pause/resume button for render session
- fix for wrong color output when multipass or linear image ouput is selected
- fix for wrong visibility on render instances, which occurs if a parent object has different visibility

The only question is — should we pay for stand or only for integration when 2.0 comes out?
2.0 will be paid upgrade when it's out. But pricing is not defined

Sweet ! thanks.
Is this build safe for production ? Or should we stick to the january version 1.01 (sdk 1.20.3)?

i can't still give %100 guarantee about it. We are close to stabile, but maybe some problems which need to fix
