Hi Chris
Thanks for the reply.
I still get bumped as it looks like I don't have "All access".
Stand alone and a couple of plug in options but no All Access.

Bummer.

Hi Otoy
I've started getting involved with UE and as a long time Octane user I wanted to use the plug in.
No luck I'm afraid.
Is the beta still in public mode?
I couldn't for the life of me find a plugin to buy on Otoy.

Peace
Josh

Ya see that's what I love about the Redshift forums.
You put in a question and it gets answered quick.
Otoy devs are dead slow.

Hi Otoy
I've been instructed by Paul (Face_Off) to bring this issue to your attention.
THis has been the Modo thread;

I have the headlight assembly turned off and the shadow catcher works like it should.
The left light assembly is geo, and the right is instanced.

Well the plot thickens...

I turned off the folder containing the body of the car and this happened.
Shadow catcher is working as I'd like it to.

What gives Face_Off?

I'll turn off meshes one by one and see if it's a material tag or something.

Sheesh, they can put a man on the moon with less power than an original iPod, but can't make a shadow catcher just catch shadows.

Thanks acc24ex

Hey Otoy

I'm rendering out a studio car shot and the shadow catcher is reporting dark.
It's lit with two area lights and a HDRI. I have a background image loaded and Alpha Channel checked.
When I use the Modo shadow catcher option I get the exact same result.

Any answers?

Peace.

I think to have a system (button) to save presets/materials with an icon is a good idea. This saves the user from the command line crap and puts more "creation time" in making magic.
It's a big bloody drag to have a system where you have to jump through hoops just to have two spheres in two ...

I did these a few weeks ago.
A study of a Japanese garden of sorts.
Rendered in Octane, through Modo 10.2.
I know the snow edges are a little rough, but C&C always welcome.

Peace.
