Re: Otoy Octane Black Friday 2024 bundle deal?

Just purchased the BF deal of a year's subscription.
Buried somewhere in the Otoy/Octane pages I read that for existing subscriptions (I had 6 months left) subscribers should contact support to not lose their current remaining subscription and have it added to the newly purchase BF deal. Can you ...

Re: Poisson disk sampling does nothing

Also, is it possible to have more than 4 scatter objects. Trying to make a brick wall and think I need about 10 different bricks to ...

Re: 1 card good, 2 cards bad?

Solved!
After months of doom and despair, I appear to have Octane working properly again.
Not sure what fixed the issues but I did 3 things yesterday;

1. Got rid of a load of crap from my ssd as it was pretty full. There's now about 50Gb free on it rather than20Gb
2. Set the windows pagefile to ...

Re: Background image support, screen mapping. Where is it?

Sounds great, thanks! Did you mean version 2024?

Re: Background image support, screen mapping. Where is it?

Hi Neon. Thanks for that.
