Juanjo,

Thank-you for your quick reply.
I'm just learning Octane for Houdini so need a quickstart or an example hip(nc) file to study because I am having no success at all and there is nothing in the manual about this.
I'm just using a sphere created elsewhere with UVs but no materials and for the ...

Hello,

Can someone direct me to a tutorial how to apply octane shaders to imported OBJs. Drag and apply doesn't work so I assume there is a step I am missing.
I found some old posts saying you need to first assign a material the geometry but that's it.
I also can't find anything in the (otherwise ...

Hello,

The email addresses at Redspecsss are refusing messages so I have to contact RedSpecSSS support through this board.

Hello,

First I would like to say that your stuff is terrific.
However for the life of me I can't get the shaders to work on the ...

Hello,

Actually OcDS is very slow when connecting to Octane Live for any reason.
The Live DB materials never load their names so the database is not searchable.
And it takes a long time to download any material.
I never had any problem on the previous version.

Hello,

I just installed the latest version of OcDS and it works fine. The new UI will take some getting used to though.
I've found that it takes a very long time to activate and it locks DS while it is doing it.

Havensole,

I've been with blender since the beginning (v1.8 actually) and its always exciting to be
part of a project that is in its infancy (I started using - testing actuallly, Firefox - Phoenix then, from v0.1). Every time I get a new version from Refractive it's like Christmas - I can't wait to ...
