Hi folks! I am a new happy owner of the Octane for Revit plugin and pretty impressed about how fast and good it is overall. But I have a question about the Revit Trees and People that disappear in octane window. What I have to do to have my exactly scene rendered in Octane? Best regards!!

Hi Julio,
Welcome to the forums. I would suggest posting questions about the Revit plugin in the Revit sub-forum. You're bound to get quicker responses there.

The best way to work with trees in the plugin is to use proxies. The plugin allows us use a Revit family as a proxy for an external model and, as of recently, we can permanently associate that family with a particular proxy. So the 'aspen' tree family in Revit would always 'call' a certain OBJ or ORBX file and render it in the plugin.

There are many resources online for OBJ trees & plant, including Xfrog, Evermotion etc. Look at the manual for how to use families as proxies.

Hope that helps.

Best,
Seeker

In addition to Seekers excellent response.....the reason the current RPC props (trees/people) do not render in Octane is because they are really 2d planes, with a texturemap rotated to match the camera position applied - so they do not render in a 3d way that an unbiased renderer like Octane needs.
