I'm wondering if this should be something an "Octane Users Group" should take over.

It would need some representation from different industries using octane.
e.g. Gaming, Arch Viz, Marketing/Advertising etc. as I imagine some of the requirements are different.


A little technical support from ...

i know octane have been updating and the old liveDB doesnt work on most material.
can the octane team update it?
the liveDB not only serve the users as a fast workflow, we can just download and adjust the attributes.
it also serve as an example on how to do certain material.

thanks in advance.

Hi octane team. i have a request.

i wonder if we can have a rule of 3rd grid and cross grid in the render preview. LOL :D
i have been into Fpv drones lately and the rule of 3rd grid in the fpv drone camera helps me alot in positioning the framing.
and i thought it would be awesome if its in octane ...

thanks for the reply and advice. for the moment i will use mograph

i tried as @boxfx suggest.

baking the particle didnt solve the problem.

but putting the emitter as cloner object solve the problem. so its related to how octane reading the emitter particle data?

hope @aoktar can have a look at it and maybe fix it.

Try baking the c4d particle system. I vaguely remember there can be problems because c4d's particles get recycled when the particle dies.

Otherwise you could try replicating what the particles are doing by using a cloner/matrix in mograph. Or maybe use a mograph cloner to clone onto the particles ...

here is a simple test here is the test scene project https://we.tl/t-DYj0ccknlb

missing particles on renders. im just using the native c4d emitter. below are the pics from 3 frames. frame 504, 505 and 506.
happens a few times already on other scenes. no problems on viewport.
c4d version : 2023.1.2
cuda driver version 12.0
OctaneRender Studio+ 2022.1 (12000020)


sci fi ...

i will thinker a bit later.I think it looks decent. people arent going to notice when its projected using a projector XD
but im curious, can you show me a good carbon fiber render?

i think its decent. thanks glimpse
