Octane does not detect my ENGTX 465 when placed in second PCIe slot and I am using my old Ati for display. I saw that it was one of the new feauters that it would work, but no.

EDIT: it might be my motherboard that is crappy, second pcie port seems wacko.

Try importing this file, and see if not the materials become specular. I want the result as in 2.43, glossy with textures. You should see a difference between 2.43 and 2.44 at least. Lets hope that the MTL file was the problem

With 2.43 the textures are working correctly. In 2.44 the materials are specular and no textures are specified. I tried it today with another scene, and the problem remains.

Since I have sent you guys a test case, I am wondering, any news on this?

Hi,

I have just tried 2.44 and to my disappointment the import of my model is not working really good.

I have a scene that that I can import in 2.43 without problems. It can be imported to Luxology Modo 501 as well. It is done in Microstation V8i SS3 Beta.

In 2.44 all materials become Specular ...

Try uninstalling the drivers and restart. Let Win7 install the default Cuda driver. Do not download the latest. See if it works.

I wouldnt mind if Octane eventually could use my ram, cpu... everything. Anything to get my rendertime down. And also i need to be able to work at the same time as rendering so a 90% function would be nice. (I might be getting a cheap 8400... maybe. Not sure if it will work with the mb )

I havent been playing around with Octane too much yet, but I have found some workflow options.

Microstation (AutoCAD competitor): works great. 3d model with textures exported. Flaw: Only one texture per layer admitted.

Luxology Modo: No textures exported :(

SketchUp: Works great. All textures ...

hey my first post :D

With 5000 euros maybe the strategy would be not to spend all the money at once but rather get a decent not to expensive workstation that you can upgrade over the next 3 years. After that you might want to get a new one completely, and then dedicate one station to rendering and ...

I cant change the resolution for the rendering with this one...

Nothing happens, stays with the initial 1024 x 580 (?)
