I have to second this. I'm interested in trying Octane in Houdini again, but the only way to find out the status of current features is to trawl through the forums. Where can I go to find out the current status/workflow for instancing in Octane for Houdini?

Sorry if this has been mentioned already but couldn't find any info. Is the QT5 IPR included in these 2021 releases?

Cheers!

It would be great to have the option to render any mesh's points as particles, like in Houdini. Just having that 'particle rendering' tab enabled on the Octane Object tag for all kinds of meshes would be very helpful to me. The main reason would be for rendering an alembic particle point cache in ...

Hi,

I have a refractive object, liquid, glass, whatever, and have objects sitting inside this. I'd like to get a matte for these objects, but the normal object color masks do not see inside/through refractions. Is there any way to generate a matte pass for these objects?

Cheers!

I am feeding in the Cd attribute into some curves, which I am rendering with "render as fur/hair object" feature. This all works great, until the color value in Cd drops below around 0.02, approaching black. If it goes lower than that the color suddenly turns bright green. Seen in attached images ...

Great tip, thanks!

But where is the OSL random projection node? Can only see 'OSLProjection' which doesn't seem to do much...

I know you can get random color per instance, but it would be very useful if it was possible to get a random color for any object in the scene, like redshift and arnold can do, to use for texture offsets or color offsets. There is a workaround to use mograph but that is not always practical.

Version XB2.1 (Test2) renders perfectly the same scene and all the passes without issue and ...

Hi,

Is it possible to use relative references in the C4D Octane output field? I want to send the scene to someone and just have it render to the project directory, no matter what machine it's on, so without absolute paths.

It just seems to go nowhere unless I put an absolute path in the filename ...
