Is there a chance we could get the module SDK in the standalone downloads for 3.06? I just downloaded over a dozen versions only to find none of them had the SDK in them, even the version I had previously.

Hi, I did that (tested on Octane bundled test scenes) and the 1070 still fails (but at least it doesn't hang in this case):


CUDA error 101 on device 0: invalid device ordinal

I recall seeing a post describing an overhaul on the scene geometry generator. Is this still in progress, or is it already out? I have a very instance-heavy scene (leaves populating trees, populating a mountain) that generates the scene in about 2-3 minutes. This is tolerable as a one-time ...

This is very exciting to hear. Thanks!

Currently, setting time to anything less than 100 for a volume animation sequence that start at time 100, Octane will render the first volume in the sequence - this is a similar limitation from other types of animation sequences in Octane (and why there are no start times for any of those). At the ...

Yep, the first frame of the simulation will always be empty in Blender. Why don't you load the sequence without the first frame? That has worked for me when I was testing it. Or if you need the simulation to start on that frame, push the simulation one frame back, if possible.

Offsetting the ...

It looks to me like Octane loads the frame that is currently in memory for the empty VDB. If I scrub the timeline quickly, it will use the last loaded frame for the empty frame and all before it (this frame will change depending on how quickly I scrub).

Hi Haze. I noticed that behavior, too.

If I start rendering on frames before the start of the sequence (say, frame 100) it renders the second frame (the first non-empty frame) until the next frame is called and continues through the sequence normally. But when I start rendering on the frame at the ...

I have a sequence of VDBs in my current project from my blender smoke cache, the first of which starts on frame 108 of my Octane project. However, Octane refuses to load the first VDB in the sequence. I'm assuming the file is empty, because the scene has no smoke in it and the file itself is only ...

Is it on the roadmap to support alembic scenes in renderlayers? I don't get an extra node pin when I plug my scene into the object layer map, only when I plug an OBJ into it.
Hi Italic_,
for alembic nodes, you can activate the object layers options directly in the preferences of the alembic node ...
