Re: Is it possible to change the shadow output?

I think what you are seeing is the logically correct shadow. It's like stacking filters; the blue building has already blocked the red light, so there's none left to go through the pink building. Where the shadows overlap, you'll get only what frequencies can pass through both buildings. You may ...

I have a bit of a follow up to this question.

Shadows are passing through the mix material. Is it possible to prevent this? The diffuse material seemingly does this, but the specular material seems to allow the shadow from another object to pass right through. Here's an image to illustrate the ...

Re: Octane Render for SketchUp 4.00.0.3 Test Release

Continued frustration. Honestly haven't been keeping up to date with the plugin. Tried to install this one, and it just causes grief. I just want to go back to the previous version that worked.

Re: Octane Render for SketchUp 3.07.0.14 Test Release

I don't know what to say anymore guys. TiG's exporter still works wonders (v2017). The geometry is crisp and clean and organized.

Alternatively, had to wait 5 minutes for Octane plugin to build an empty scene on startup.
