Thank you for the Smart Unfold Toby

The DAZ/Octane integration/workflow when first initialized and was so exciting and promising. I recommended it to so many people....but Otoy dropped the ball for DAZ users.

I keep popping in from time to time to see if anything has changed and if it was worth reinvesting...I can see that's a big no ...

Paul,

Why has the Smart Unfold been removed ??? Can you not disable features that we are so dependent on. Yes it is buggy but we still used it. Enable it back. it is not there even in the 2019.1.5.51. I can't roll back to 2020.1 earlier version. But at least managed to rollback back to 2109.1.5.49 ...

Hi Laticis,

I think that GoZ like feature will be the Octane > System (tab) -> Export -> Complete Scene. It is manual and does not automatically provide a back and forth way of doing things like ZBrush does with GoZ. But at least one can export from Daz and import the scene in Octane Standalone ...

Hi Paul,

very sorry, I missed your previous post and no probs, was just kind of hoping it might have been an 'easy' fix.

Hi Paul,

Sorry for the delayed response.

Cheers Ady

Hi. I couldn't reproduce this issue. Are you able to send me a scene with just that material (prior to the smart unfold) on a sphere please?

Hi Paul,

I seem to be having an issue using the Smart Unfold in NGE.

I've set up a Specular Material, added some additional functions.
Then when I use smart unfold, the settings remain consitent but I end up with a different render result. Please see screenshots. Any questions let me know.

Thank you
