Whoa!!! excellent when, how ? with the official release of 2019 for unity or as an incremental build ?

[ChrisHekman]

You should be able to upgrade from within the plugin. Normally you should get an upgrade popup when a new version comes out.
Alternatively you can manually upgrade by going to the top menu bar -> Octane -> Preferences -> Version Control -> Select 1374 and upgrade.

Maybe i'm doing something wrong here

RecorderWindow still not accessible when i do this:
OctaneUnity.RecorderWindow window = (OctaneUnity.RecorderWindow)EditorWindow.GetWindow(typeof(OctaneUnity.RecorderWindow));
Assets\Editor\rmBuildRender.cs(77,135): error CS0122: 'RecorderWindow' is inaccessible due to its protection level

As for the the PBRUnityLightComponent:

RecorderWindow

Ill check what went wrong here. Ill see if i can add a new build today.

Light component not found:

The PBR Unity Light Component only works when octane is rendering.
The underlying Octane.UnityLight only exists when rendering is active.

Thanks. Could you please point me to the documentation for the PBRUnityLightComponenet please ?

+1. Is the C# API documented anywhere? I would love to dig into it.

I would lilke to request an API feature that builds on top of the ability to export ORBX. This would be a creucial step in automating our pipeline.

I will be really greate if i could execute the recorder in unity batch mode. This means, the ability to initialize Octane plugin in batch and performing the export.

Is this complicated to implement ?

At the moment Octane can only be activated internally. Ill check if it is safe for us to expose it.
