Hello,
For the purposes of creating NPR architectural line drawings, I'd like an image layer containing nice clean lines around objects on a transparent background.
Perhaps a bit similar to that described here: http://blendernpr.org/edge-node-v1-2-4-july-2015/
Guessing, it would be a post-process ...

I am experienced working with Octane working in Rhino for stills, but not yet with the Bongo plugin for animations. We are looking to do some Bongo animations, and had a few queries about Octane support for Bongo. Perhaps someone with bongo|octane experience could help?

1/ Is camera motion blur ...

Hi there,
I'm using the Octane plugin with Rhino 5. My Rhino 5 frequently crashes when I convert materials from the basic material type to the octane material type. The crash occurs when I go to click on the little circle symbol for materials within the layers tab in Rhino. Sometimes it crashes just ...

Hi Paul,

Curve piping and support for rhino's two point perspective would also be great.

Thanks!

Has there been any development of the curve piping?

Really looking forwards to being about to use motion blur in the rhino plugin

Thanks Roeland,
I get it now.
Final queries:
The polar distribution of an IES around the principal axis is not necessarily uniform. What determines the 12oclock direction?
Would it make sense to have an option to turn off the multiplication of the IES with the cosine distribution to make it more ...

Hi Roeland,

Thanks for your response. I'm almost getting it!

So if I am understanding correctly:
>Mesh emitters behave as if each point on its surface emits light, with a cosine distribution around the normal of the surface at that point.
>Applying an ies file changes the cosine distribution for ...

Can someone help me to understand a few things about IES lights?
IES lights are a text file that defines brightness at various angles relative to two axes, one being the direction the light is pointing, and the other an up-axis.
Therefore, it would make sense to locate IES lights using a transform ...
