missing textures Tweet

[Andrew88]

Hello there.

i just bought the new released octane render plugin for maya.

if i open a scene which contains some models and some textures and render using octane, then the textures won´t be rendered. the only thing i got is a gray render. seems like the only way i´m able to render with textures is if i re-create the shading network only using octane nodes.

was it not the whole idea with this integrated render plugin, so that you can just use regular maya nodes.

also there should have been a manual together with the plugin when i downloaded it right ?

besides that, great plugin

Yes, the manual you can open from Windows Start menu. "OctaneRender for Maya" folder in "Programs".

About nodes, I already wrote here: viewtopic.php?p=98688#p98688

oh okay i found the pdf

i´m a bit frustrated about that you can´t just use maya nodes with octane. i just spend 99 euro on this plugin and then it doesn´t work the way they promised.
i´m also currently testing a demo of furryball 3.0 and i most say that it works far better than octane does.. at least as an integrated plugin.
perhaps i should have used the money on furryball instead.

don´t get me wrong i do like octane render but i´m just disappointed, i haven´t tested it fully yet.
