OctaneRender™ for Blender 3.03.4 - 11.0 OSX [OBS]

This is a TEST version. It may have some bugs, please don't use it for production. Please report the bugs in a Bug Reports section of Blender forum.


OctaneRender™ for Blender plugin. OSX version.

The bundle consists from two parts:
1. OctaneRender™ Server
2. Blender - OctaneRender™ edition.

After starting OctaneServer it will take some time before the LiveDB tree and LiveDB material previews will be available from Blender - as OctaneServer caches the LiveDB data from remote server right after starting. But only the materials groups tree will be re-cached every time after server start, LiveDB material preview images will be cached only once - so only the very first OctaneServer start will need some more time before LiveDB tree will be available in Blender.
To stop the server - just click its icon in the tray.
After the server is run - you can start rendering (or open a rendered view) from inside Blender. Before the very first rendering you should fill in the server address.

You should use only OctaneRender materials inside Blender scenes - the plugin knows nothing about Blender specific materials and textures (about any Blender nodes, generally speaking).


FIXES AND NEW FEATURES SINCE LAST RELEASE

  • Merged with Blender 2.78.
  • Implemented negotiation with a server regarding remote GPUs available and their names. Thanks to this Octane's server GPUs now are nicely present in Blender's UI.
  • One more network rendering bug fixed. If you still have net-render issues in 10.7 - please install this version.
  • Minor fixes and improvements...

Please, if you decided to report a bug:

- Don't post in Blender section the reports about how Octane engine works - use the Octane Standalone forum sections for that.
- Give a meaningful description about what you think is wrong and how to reproduce it (in addition to screenshots if any). I can't solve the "one screenshot" rebuses without any meaningful description...
- If you use Google-translator to post here - check please what you got before posting it, and edit it before posting. Ask your friends to check it if you don't speak English.
