OctaneRender™ for Blender 3.04 - 11.4 Win [OBSOLETE]
Posted: Thu Oct 20, 2016 10:10 pmThis 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. Windows x64 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 right-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).

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.

FIXES AND NEW FEATURES SINCE LAST RELEASE
- New Octane 3.04 core.
- Fully reworked the export functionality. Implemented the asynchronous behaviour for Octane export, now it does not block the UI. Other export improvements...
- Implemented new functionality for complex hair coloring. New Octane's settings in particle systems: "Min. W" and "Max. W". Now you can map different parts of color gradient (assigned to a mesh) to different hair particle systems, so different hair strands of same mesh could have different root-to-tip gradients. For automatic W interpolation use "Hair length" or "Segment count" options in the new "Hair W interpolation" setting of a mesh object. If you want to fine-tune this manually (using new "Min. W" and "Max. W" settings of a hair system) - set it to "Use hair Ws".
- New "AO ambient texture" parameter in Octane direct lighting kernel. You can set it the same way as you do for texture/medium in Octane environment settings. Please read a standalone manual about this parameter.
- Other new things brought together with 3.04 core (some new nodes, pins, etc...). You can read about them in Octane standalone 3.04 release notes.
- Minor fixes and improvements...
