Give the team a break! It was stated that it is hard and will take time for the plug ins to be ready since V3 changes many things under the hood.

This is a business transaction. If you paid for a meal, to be told "come back for it tomorrow" I'm sure you'd have something to say. Actually, the ...

I missed this post (but found it on the 3.0 release thread)

It would be nice to get an update but hopefully it won't be too much longer? I know you can't promise anything, but an update on delivery date would allow us to plan a little better ...

Quick question, will this version work with the newly launched Octanenrender 3.0? Or will it require a new build?

Thanks

I'd like to know this too. I paid for the Blender upgrade yesterday and I'd like to use it today.

Thanks :) Just to bring the issue over from the last thread: the problem of unreleased GPUs after a render persists, they're staying at 50% load after a render.

Strangely, this doesn't seem to happen on my laptop with a GTX 770M. Here, the GPU goes back to 0% after rendering (checked with MSI ...

I still have the old problem, that Octane Server is not releasing the GPUs after a render ... it keeps them at 50% power when rendering is finished instead of dropping down back to idle.

I made a screenshot in MSI Afterburner to explain:

1. You can see that the GPU power of the GPUs is in the ...

Ok it was the drivers! :)
Thanks a lot for your time!


I get this black screen too but only when I switch to camera view. Interactive viewport is fine.
I have a GTX970 and it's all been fine until this update, so not sure what's up :(
I played with the render passes too, but no joy.

I had the ...

No probs. Just a thought.

BTW - this is the first time I've installed the latest version and it hasn't worked. Just says "waiting for image" if I render. Anyone else getting issues? Usually works first time.

Hi,
Does the recent announcement about "commercial plugins" in Blender have any relevance here now? Just wondering. I know there were issues originally, requiring Octane to be released as a Server + Blender Build.

Hi,
Just wondering about the use of max materials. If I create a simple scene that uses an "Ivy" plugin (http://www.guruware.at/main/), it does not render the assigned materials when using the max Octane renderer. However, if I export to .obj format, it renders just fine in the standalone Octane ...
