Hi Chris,

Sure. This is how things look like:
Does this shed any light on the problem? Thanks for letting me know.

Hello,

Thanks again for all the many improvements that have gone into the UE plugin of Octane so far. There's a lot to like, but also a lot that seems to pop up out of nowhere causing problems, like the following:

For some reason, Octane throws up a Video ...

Hey BK,

When downloading the 2021.1.4 version of the plugin, what I'm getting is "OctaneSolarisEnterprise_2021.1.4.3_Houdini_19.0.589_Win64". Is it possible that the download link connects to the wrong version? Thanks for letting me know

Thanks a lot BK, this works now, as you can see here:

There's one other thing I noted in the meantime. It seems like Octane doesn't interpret the scene camera correctly inside Solaris. When using any of the other renderers (e.g. Houdini GL, Karma, Redshift), the 35mm camera I'm using ...

Thanks a lot BK. Looking forward to it

OK, I think I came a lot closer to the solution, thanks to some helpful forum members.

Thanks,

Thanks Juanjo. Already did that, but replies on the Hydra/Solaris forum are ...

I have tried the same thing before and realized that octane transform can't take any input. This might be helpful to you though https://render.otoy.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=73&t=69211
Random tiling using OSL driven by a texture

OK, so reading through the other post, it seems like this should ...

Hey Juanjo,

I've got the following issue: I would like to use the colour attribute of the underlying geometry, to drive the offset for a texture I intend to use in the material for this geometry. In my case, I'd like these colour values to affect the texture offset for each little bar of wood.
