You can use a "Mesh volume SDF" node to convert an OBJ to a signed distance field. Then you can combine this with vectron primitives or other SDF objects with the union/subtraction/ink, etc. operators.

Hi I think I got it. It seems it might have been the original model I was trying to use.
Does ...

What is the version number of the plugin that you are using please?

I think I solved the problem. I tried other old projects and was having the same issue. But one happened to not have that same issue. So I exported the render target settings and applied it to the newer scene. And ...

Hi, I'm looking for a resource to show me how to use Vectron features in octane Standalone itself.
All the tutorials I see are utilizing the plugins. But I am looking for a Learning Resource for the Standalone itself.
Especially creating fractals

Thanks

Hi I'm looking for a way to use the Vectron features on a obj model? Or any other 3D model. Or even possibly an animated model that I brought into octane Standalone.

Thanks

I use an old 3d explorer, even deprecated model by now, and has always worked on every Octane version I since V1 beta.
If there is a problem, maybe check the settings of octane or 3DConnexion settings, dominant axis, activation of movements, etc.
Only software that I use regularly that stopped ...

Honestly, I would assume you'd need to mesh your grain result. I don't think we have a way to smooth that out in Octane itself.

Okay, I'll just converting it into a Alembic mesh.
