Octane Solaris plugin 2020.2.3.0 - 05-27-21_v3 [OBSOLETE]

Dear Octane community,

OTOY® is proud to announce the availability of the new DCC plugin OctaneRender for Solaris V2020.2.3 - for Houdini 18.5.532.

The world's fastest unbiased GPU rendering engine on CUDA and Metal now integrate completely with Houdini 18.5 Solaris.

What is OctaneRender for Solaris?
The OctaneRender for Solaris plugin is based on Pixar’s USD (Universal Scene Description) and Pixar’s Hydra API to empower artist workflows across look development, scene layout, lighting, and final rendering.

-Installation steps-

Insert the OctaneRender® plugin folder path to the houdini.env file. Houdini®creates this file after launch it for the first time.
On Linux and macOS® systems, append a single line to enable OctaneRender®:

HOUDINI_PATH = "/path/to/octane;&"

On Windows® systems, you need to set the PATH to point to the plugin bin folder as well:

PATH = "C:/path/to/octane/bin;$PATH"


Setting this environment variable outputs any error related to loading the OctaneRender® plugin on the command line for diagnosing installation problems:
HOUDINI_DSO_ERROR = 2



- Changes since 2020.2.3.0 - 05-26-21 [ Test ]-

  • Implemented Focus Distance and F-stop ( Camera UI, Imager, and PostProcessing features is planned for the later releases)
  • Disabled Disk/Area light double side emission


-Known Issues-
- Light Linker is yet to be supported as we are investigating if we could assign the Octane light IDs internally.

Hi K3xx,

Yes, Vectron is yet to be supported. We have added a feature request to our internal ticket system.

Cheers
