Re: Lightmap Studio doesnt work with Octane Lightwave 2023

I don't think anyone is working on the Lightwave Octane plugin anymore. Am I wrong?

Re: Render question / VERY Slow Scene Update

Thanks for looking at these.
If you need more info, please let me know.

The FFX settings on each of the braids are slightly different, but only in terms of fiber density and minor styling changes.

Render question / VERY Slow Scene Update

We're currently rendering a scene that takes 1 minute to render, but 10 minutes to "update" between frames.
Granted, the scene uses FFX which may play a (large) role in that, but I'm wondering what other factors determine the update speed?

Re: Lightwave Plugin Manual update?

ORBX export errors!

Hi, any and all help is appreciated. I'm on a deadline (of course!)

I've exported my lightwave scene to ORBX, but when I load it in Standalone most of the lights don't appear until the last frame of the animation. The animation itself seems intact and even the image sequences used in the materials ...
