Re: NEW : OctaneRender for Softimage beta testers wanted

Been working with Softimage for a very long time, and seriously started using the standalone with the Softimage plugin since the 1.10 release.
I'd love to give it a testride if there's still a vacancy on the B Team.

Re: Motion blur shutter speed

you can lower the amount of motion blur by scaling the animation so everything moves slower, and then skipping every 2nd or 3rd frame when rendering.

If you also need object motion blur you could do the same, but render all the frames, scale the animation back to it's original length in AfterFX or ...

Re: Camera in xsi and octane do not match

I had the same problem, changing the units from decimeters to meters in the Octane preferences solved it for me.

Re: Soft2Octane 3.03 [CURRENT]

Re: Soft2Octane 3.03 [CURRENT]

Ah thanks, I downloaded the one in the first posting assuming it would include the latest dll's.

I think the problem might be that I assume too much ;-)

Re: Soft2Octane 3.03 [CURRENT]

hey, thanks for the fast reply. I think I solved the camera issue. I suspect it was a wrong scaling preference in Octane. I assumed that when I leave the default to decimeters in both SI and Octane things should be fine, but after changing the prefs in Octane to meters the camera exported fine ...

Re: Soft2Octane 3.03 [CURRENT]

another problem I've run into is that I have an Octane scene where several Obj's are merged into a geometrygroup node, and I can't get the group to render and load the animated object on every frame at the same time.

When I activate "overwrite existing project", it will the refresh the animated ...

Re: Soft2Octane 3.03 [CURRENT]

I've been experimenting with this plugin for a few days and it works great so far, thanks a lot for all the hard work.

I have one problem though. I can't get the SI camera to export properly with the scene. I reinstalled the addon twice and made sure I had microsoft visual C++ installed but so far ...
