Hi all,

Okay, so I come to surface a model this morning, but all of a sudden I'm getting the error in the attached image when I double click the Image Texture node, I get the same error when clicking any node.

When I try to re-install the plugin (from different sources) 'No plugins found or loaded ...

Hi all,

Does anyone use LW Octane and the ACES colour space stuff with After Effects?

With Octane needing to be Linear Colour Space, I'm a little confused as to how to get it working with ACES. (ie, render out to EXR and it has an ACES prodile (according to after effects), but no idea which aces ...

The UVMAP Node is indispensable for stuff like this. Set up the LW native 'color' channel with the UV assignment/color texture and use the UVMap Node set to 'get Textures from T channel' (Or whatever it says lol.).

If they have 1 surface per UV Map, you could assign them in the LW native surface editor and use the Octane UVMAP Node to use the settings from the LW T colour channel.

Would anyone know of a way to grab the 'output' of a camera and use it as a texture? This is possible using the CCTV shader in Native LW, but struggling to find a solution within Octane.

Yep, it was on.

Fixed now. Thanks

Hi all,

So I've suddenly started to have a strange issue with IPR. It never gets above 4 samples before updating itself, making working pretty much impossible.

The scene has quite a lot of Instances in it, but it's less than another scene that I have that seems to work fine.

LW 2015.3, Octane ...
