Just take away two zeros dude, think of it as 100%.

That way you have similar to most 3d apps.

Chrome roughness 10000 (100% reflectivity)
50% roughness = 4980 (10000-40 x 0.5)
Lambert roughness 40 (0% reflectivity)

Good work on this claw, even more impressive because its made with blender
Why does Blender get such a bad rap? It is just as capable as any other 3d app. I don't use it anymore, but that is what I started with for years. It got me started in 3D, I still use it everyday in our company pipeline for ...

This is great, but do I need Vis basic studio or Linux to compile?

No Windows installer..............

I reproduced this error last night, but only during remote desktop access, which has issues with Open GL.

I have the same problem using Maxwell Studio over remote desktop, if I have vertex buffers enabled (OpenGL 1.5 or later needed.)

Standard on the desktop has no error for me.

Export with Material groups selected, or use Blender.

Have just checked latest driver available for GForce 8800 GTX is 195.62, which I haven't yet installed or tested with Octane.


190.38 doesn't report opengl error message though.

I'm running the same video card but on Win XP pro x64 SP2. Not had this Open gl error at all.

don't go for millions of polies, but hundreds :)
note that SSS is not planned for v1.0 so it will take a while before it's implemented.

Yep Im not going to make millions :) Maybe a poly every 3° and no poly smaller than 5mm
I know that SSS is not planned for v1.0 but its very important to build ...

@Tim,
You might like to consider too that with a business need such as yours you could cost effectively look to invest in new Fermi generation Tesla cards with 3 or 6gb memory to populate a desktop supercomputer.

I wouldnt like to speculate too much about their performance but say 3x GTX295 ...

Great news mate, thanks for the reply.
