Hello together,

I've a problem with the blender plugin:
When I start blender (2.75) and start the rendering of a scene, evrything works fine, I get a finished rendering just like one would expact.
But when I try to start another rendering the renderprocess seems to start, but without any geometry ...

I figured out what the problem is:

The animations with the Octane plugin don't work, when an object is linked in the scene from another blend-file!

Some how the OctaneServer can't refresh the scene, when you have linked in objects!

Hope it helps

Cheers

Hallo together,

I've a few questions about the render passes and the usage of render layers in blender using the octane plugin:

1. Mist Pass:
Is there any way to use the mist pass at all? Usually (in cycles and blender render) you have to setup the distance and borders of the mist in the "world ...

I have a simple animated camera in an architectural scene. I'm using the particle system for a gras floor (particle object is in the "scatter" mode. When I click on the animation button, the ...

The Dropbox crossed my mind too, and would be ok for me. But I think there has to be a solution that works without compeling the participants to creat some kind of account elsewhere :-/

One more thing: in order to declare the winner, we need to verify if the file size and rendertime of the scenes meets the competition rules. Could all participants to the competition email their scene to [email protected] (subject "OctaneBench competition entry") by 1 October midnight CET ...
