Hi,
I'm also not an expert, but there is this "offset" value. If you set it to minus half of "height", you should get exactly the effect you want.

Hi,
I got another scene to work. The following procedure did it in that case:
1) Delete the Daylight from the scene
2) Save the scene
3) Exit Poser
4) Start Poser, load the scene
5) Open Octane, loading the scene without a Daylight
6) Close the Octane windows
7) Recreate a new Daylight
8) Open the ...

Hi,
this indeed seems to occur for existing scenes. In my prior experiment I admit I did not start from scratch but rather deleted everything except the ground and light.
In some other existing scene, I managed to fix this issue by deleting the Daylight, synchronizing to Octane, and the recreating a ...

Hi Paul,
thanks for the fast response. Yes, this only occurs for scenes saves with 1.0... 1.2 and existing Octane materials.
All new scenes are transferred correctly.

In some existing scenes I have done a "Save as Poser material" for the Octane material changes. For those, the proposed ...

Hi,
I have a very strange problem with Sunlight.

I first noticed this with last week's 2.0.9.17, and now created a simple test scene to verify, using 2.01.18.
The "Daylight" direction from Poser is no longer seen in Octane.

The test scene contains the ground, 1 Poser primitive cylinder and 3 boxes ...

Hi,
as Octane 2 introduces the new texture transformation which has no directly corresponding feature in Octane 1.x, all transformed scenes currently show an identity transformation.
There was however an u/v texture scaling in Octane 1.x. It would be great if the plugin could automatically convert ...

Hi,
thank you very much! I appreciate these new features! Especially also the LDR greyscale texture saving will be very convenient, this was the limiting factor for some conversions.

Best regards,

Hi,
I have an idea of a useful new feature:
Similar to Bagginsbill's parmatic, a new node could be implemented, similar to "floattexture", but rather than a value, it takes 2 parameters: a reference to a mesh and a string.
The node would perform a lookup to the meshes origin in Poser (prop or figure ...

Hello,
OK, I found some settings I'm happy with. I finally used transmission EC maps and also specular maps.
(To be precise, for transmission, I used a mix between red and the EC map, because the EC map alone was too pale.)
I increased the scattering a lot, compared to the absorption (10:1).

The ...

Hello,
as a first conclusion from this, I agree with Paul concerning absorption, that it should be non-zero.
With absorption at 0, most of the light will be transmitted through the body, with little influence of its thickness, and therefore a scattering map is essential.
Attached is the image I ...
