Re: Shadow Catcher in Plugin version 3.07 R2

This is a gaping hole in this plugin. Shadow catching is the most basic of functionality that needs to work. I don't understand why a developer would want to release software with such a massive bug. It's destroys the legitimacy of Octane.

Re: Animated Textures Just Don't Work

The biggest issue for me on this one is a lack of documentation regarding this topic in the manual. There seems to be a "best practices" workflow here that needs to be laid out in more detail in the docs.

Here's the current description on this node:

Re: Animated Textures Just Don't Work

How is it possible that the texture work on minute and then just disappear the next? They show up in IPR, but the final render it's just gone.

Re: Animated Textures Just Don't Work

OK thanks Aoktar. I cannot post this texture unfortunately.

This information regarding sequence naming is not present in the manual.
