OTOY Forums

I know, I can import a mid-res obj plus a normal map from Zbrush but it would be nice to have just a quick one click solution with a camera, material and light matching if possible. I know Octane can't handle orto camera but it would be nice if such a plugin would do a proper conversion to a long focus one.

Unfortunately there is no plugin for Zbrush available. On the other hand: Emulating orthographic cameras with extremely long focal lengths in Octane is currently not very practical, because it introduces numerical problems which appear as shading artifacts and it makes the viewport navigation extremely tricky. We probably add more possibilities in the future, but I can't say when and what, because it's not our focus right now

I am using Octane mostly to render things into bigger textures and backgrounds to be used in a game. The long focus camera support would be very welcomed. I am always have to cope with artifacts if I use it. I can only imagine how great Octane could be if we can use it to bake textures directly along target object normals or with a "cage".
