I've bought octane when it was in beta and i've been using it since, but only as a standalone. I have a licence for version 4, but i've never went trough and bought dedicated rhino plugin cause i thought that i'll eventually switch to maya or 3ds max, but with rhino 7 new quad mesh tool, i decided ...

thx

We us the batch render ignores the check boxes and renders all nodes.

Will be fixed in the next release. Here's already an updated version of the script:

is it possible to add batch render script to save render passes too, not just main view? if it can be ...

I upgraded to octane 2.x yesterday so i was experimenting with displacement a bit.
Since using just seamless texture doesn't produce good results, i was experimenting with color correction and noise generators.

I've upgraded to octane 2.x today and i'm very happy with new features so lemme thank to octane devs for doing an amazing job first :)

I recently bought gtx970 and have gtx460 from before so ran benchmark on 1.55 and after upgrading i ran the test on 2.11.1 too. 460gtx tests showed octane 2.x ...

Just got gtx 970, result is 4.26 Ms/sec with pathtracing and 3.61 with pmc (i'm posting that pmc works because i've seen people reporting that 9xx series has problems with pmc)

thx for replys
i had to make a purchase and i've decided to go with 970. considering it outperforms 770 in every review i've read and that it has more cuda cores, i'm confident that it won't be far behind 770 in octane. hopefully it's better in octane too.

i'll post results in octane benchmark ...

from what i've read so far it seems to me that reason why gtx 980 is performing worse then gtx 780 in octane atm is due to lower amount of cuda cores and update in drivers might fix that.
gtx 970 has more cuda cores then 770 so even without update in drivers i'm hoping it would give better results ...

so far the answer has been 'its a beta software, dont expect it to be perfect', but i guess devs cant really use that as excuse anymore ;)

i'm hoping we'll eventually see a full rhino plugin like 3ds has, but i dont expect them to do it soon as rhino users are a minority in octane community, thats ...
