Hi Otoy,
could you pls make some hadrware shaders for Maya to at least represent colours (some specularity would be nice as well) in the viewport (not IPR)? Everything looks grey, when using octane shaders. This would make it easier to distinguish which object has which shader etc.

Thank you!

I save the CSV as a file and just click reload.
Drag and drop however would be a fine thing to have.

Hi!
Could you please allow empty CSV files for the scatter node (animated) on standalone?
When I export several different instanced objects on the same particle object (maya) per frame, it happens that there is no particular object for a particular scatter node in that frame (none born or all dead ...

Could boolean operations be someday possible in octane?
I mean cutting through a building or an engine by a cube (with some special invisible shader attached to it), to show the inner parts.

I understand that cutting geometry (boolean difference) is not trivial and could be a nightmare for the ...

Paste a list of positions, rotations and scales and assemble your matrices in octane.
This is my first lua script, so shut up/criticize to death?

Usage:
select a scatter node or don't

paste a space separated list of positions, rotations and scales (per line ...

Awsome!
Thank you, calus!

How can I convert a matrix 4x4 (from Maya) to octane's 4x3 (scatter)?
Is it a matter of rotating it and stripping a row or is this somewhat more complicated ?

thank you!

This inadvertently brings out an issue with the forums... there has to be a better way to deal with updates for stuff like this. maybe not something on the forums itself? maybe another module on the site that has a repository or library of scripts, materials, etc? Just a thought.

Totaly agree. I ...

Great! Thank you both!

Hi,
I'd like to ask whether there was some development/plans according to PMC:portals.
Sinse the beginning of PMC there is a post in the docs stating that portals don't work well with glass/windows.
Currently, portals cannot be placed in openings which are not open, eg a window with a portal ...
