Please, anyone who can post a working example of multi-layer exr save.
I'have been strugling with saveRenderPassesMultiExr2.
I'm on latest stable Octane 2021.1.

Many thanks

Many thanks. Will try it today.

Pity that getting localDB using API is not more direct and intuitive

Aleksandar

Hi beppe,

I appreciate the answer and I'll use liveDB at some point.

However, I want to use localDB programmatically.
Could not find API support for the local one.

Hi,

How can one get and work with liveDB from lua scripts?
Seems that octane.importLocalDB is not available.

Think I have found a way to solve my issue.
See the code below that randomizes geometry's translational and rotational placement.


There, octane.changemanager.update() call can be used to keep the window live while updating the scene.


local function Randomize()
local rndRotate = {math.random ...

Hi,
I would like to create a non modal window to drive object location randomization to generate variations in the scene.

Is this possible at all?
Any other approaches?

Many thanks
Aleksandar

Hi,

Many thanks. Having light at fixed position in camera space is indeed what I needed.
Will test the script.

Many thanks.
Will dive into it.

Hi,

I'm wondering if it is possible to avoid Blender geometry to be exported as GT_GEOMETRYARCHIVE.
For example, in Blender I can parent light source (QuadLight) to camera (so when camera moves light follows).
However, this is not preserved after the export - camera is a separate node and light is ...

Hi,

Is it possible to bind a light source to a camera; the light then moves in same way as the camera?

I'm interested to know how this may be achieved by manually changing the graph and via scripting.

Many thanks
Aleksandar
