Hi Rick,

Subscription page still isn't showing my Unity license.

I'm in the same boat. Installed Octane for Unity at my old office and never deactivated it. Changed jobs and moved across the country. Tried to install it on my own machine and it's still registered on the old one. No way to deactivate it from here. Hoping a fix for this comes soon. I kind of need it.

Yeah, if we could get a good batch baking solution, that'd be great. I just got off a huge Unity project that would have been unreasonable to do it Octane, but I really wanted to.

On the left is the matte material. On the right, the geometry for the ground plane is deleted. Why would it show up darker in areas that aren't receiving shadows?

Woops. Sorry about that. The narration is in German but it gets the point across.

I tried hooking up the Modo Illuminate Node into an Octane Mix material and it doesn't look like it works. Has anyone gotten it to work or figured out a workaround?

You can see the Illuminate node in action here, restricting a texture effect to areas in shadow.

Thanks Paul,

I suppose at the moment in terms of workflow it may make sense to just set up the shadow catcher, models, and mats with regular Modo shaders and switch everything to Octane for final renders and just sweat the compositing in After Effects. Octane 4 perhaps with moving backgrounds?

Does Octane for Modo currently support image sequences or video files for the background? I'm trying to composite over some video and it doesn't looks like it's possible yet.

I can render individual frames, but I can't get it to render the animation. I've tried turning on Use Modo Render Cache with no luck. It might be too esoteric a thing to have considered, but I figured I'd give it a shot.

I was thinking more along the lines of sending multiple scenes or files to render. I'm used to having Backburner at the office, but would like something similar for Modo and Octane at home.
