That's indeed what I do. It's just that being able to see a preview of how things line up and how the lighting looks on top of the drone footage in the live viewer is ...

Please note that you need only few clicks to convert any video into an image sequence via C4D Picture Viewer.

And yes, Standalone doesn't accept video assets, so it doesn't make any sense to develop a feature only from c4d plugin side, that doesn't work in OctaneRender ecosystem.

Any chance we can get animated textures working if they're video files?
It works fine on both geometry and background objects if they're image sequences.
Video files are a different story. On geometry, it shows up on the live viewer but it doesn't refresh unless I refresh the scene. On background ...

Thanks for the great release Aoktar,

Would it be possible to be able to render out both distributed and non-distributed version of the Info passes. It could be very useful for some passes especially the Z-Depth for example to have both an aliased and anti-aliased version of it. It would be super ...
