I think I found a bug with the rgb image node. If it also has rgb color/gaussian set as the power, it you try changing the value to any other color it will not take that color.


Hey Sorel, I'm seeing the same thing. I think it might not be a bug but a change in Octane 2026 though, because when I ...

The SBH only shows up in Octane viewport once Viewport Tessellation has been adjusted to 2, like what happens to Filament.


I agree with you. I think we're on the same page about how it currently works. The hope is that the plugin can be improved to support the curve rendering (tessellation = 0 ...

Hi Tugpsx,

Thanks for your reply, but I don't understand some of your statements:


...Daz Octane was designed to pull the geometry from the viewport and as stated when the strand based hair (SBH) is visible in the Daz viewport, it is made visible in the Octane Viewport...

...One of the ...

Btw, could you also help test if enabling the `Line tessellation` on Strand-based Hair can render with OctaneRender for Daz?


Hi BK,

Thanks for the update! Great to finally be on the latest Octane release.

For rendering strand-based hair, what you stated here has always worked. If you increase ...

Please feel free to let us know the most wanted feature !!


Hi BK -

Great to see continued support of the plugin. Support for rendering the strand-based hair as curves (instead of tessellated geometry) is definitely my most wanted feature as well. Now that we have VDBs it's really the only ...

Hi RGUS - I don't believe this was built for Daz Studio 2025, based on the comments from the OTOY team in the previous thread. They noted they would look into Daz 2025 after getting the plugin up to date with more recent Octane versions.

BK and OTOY team - I do think it would be prudent for a minor ...

I think that makes sense, get a more updated version of the Octane SDK working before tackling the newer versions of Daz. Especially given their 2025 build is still an Alpha and could change significantly still.

Is there any ETA for the updated plugin for Daz 4.x? It's been a long time since we've ...

You are most welcome Toby. Please do reach out if you need anything tested at the Alpha / Beta phase. I am a programmer myself (C++) so running unstable builds to find issues is not a problem.

Hi Rajib -

Welcome back to Octane for DS :).


Issues :
Can you fix this long standing bug - If the image file path has an & character, Daz can load the image, but the Octane plugin cannot. That is actually a valid character for Windows file path.


This bug should be fixed as of 2021.1.5 - 70 ...

Hi MasterWayZ,

The material you're looking at is not for the hair, it's for a separate object the vendor included with the hair to help hold the ponytail strands together during the simulation. The opacity is set to 0 - which is why you don't see it in the DAZ viewport, if you changed it to 1 you ...
