I second everything I read here and that would take a simple discussion to make this more civil.

The community is a bit at a loss as there are so few people from Otoy answering these boards and taking care of the people using it. We are all artists, developers, enthusiasts and engineers and there ...

Hey all,

I know this is a sensitive subject but is Otoy studying an AI enhancer like Corona did : https://www.chaos.com/corona/whats-new

For me this is the real game changing feature that we will all use in the next years... Keeping creative control over a scene / layout / lighting / mood / models ...

Of course, here it is

EDIT : I think it has to do with the "box" projection of the noise I use instead of the vectron bounding box...

Hi and thanks for this incredible update !

I have a major problem with vectron displacement though... As I move the camera, I can see the vectron bounding box behind it and the displacement is clearly lackind details overall (except on some sections). Changing the bounding box size doesn't help ...

Great minds think alike, I just tried this an hour ago but the usda file is empty in the standalone version too...

I thought that it was because of a faulty file but the usda works in Nuke, Houdini and even Maya as we tested.

Hey all,

I need to import a crowd from Houdini and I have a usda file (calling numerous alembic files). This guy here https://youtu.be/B8xi31CBmIM?t=375 managed to do it super fast and easily in the Octane Standalone version but I can't seem to find a way to open it properly in C4D/Octane. C4D ...

Hey there Octaners,

For a reason I don't understand, I can't render AOV with Octane, the renders are stuck at 100% render with "displaying diffuse pass" or the pass that I want to render next. I tried latest version R5, R5 fix and R2 just to be sure, changed Nvidia drivers and reinstalled C4D 2023 ...

Please @aoktar, @Otoy, fix this asap, it prevents us to work properly with compositing artists thus invalidating octane for bigger projects... It happened already twice for us.

Just found the solution while tinkering. Putting it here for anyone having the problem :

Just hit "C" on your imported .abc Camera to make it editable aka "normal cam + alembic Tag".

Every information (including focal data) should be there.

Cheers,

Same thing here, we received a tracked abc camera and the imported camera works in C4D viewport but octane doesn't read the focal info (postion / scale / rotation are all ok).
